Solidity, consistency and security are aspects that define José Castillo since his arrival at Chivas and this Saturday his performance will be decisive for the Rebaño to be infallible in defensive duties in the match against Pumas, corresponding to Day 15 of the Apertura 2024.
Throughout this semester, the player from the capital has played 13 matches, all of them as a starter, which translates into 1,126 minutes of play. Since the match against Tigres on Matchday 5, 'Casti' has been in every one of Chivas' matches and was substituted in only 3 of them.
His versatility has been more than beneficial for the team, as he has appeared from left back to center back as a marker on the right, or also in a line of 4. This has earned him consideration in the Mexican Under 23 National Team process, which he has attended on a couple of occasions during the semester.
José's impact is not only limited to defensive duties, as he has participated in 4 of the 22 goals scored by Guadalajara in the AP24 with his constant incorporations to the attack.
Another of the high points of Castillo's game is his ball recovery. The Rebaño's 21-year-old stands out among the 3 players with the most stolen balls with 37, in addition to registering 59 rebounded balls.
Undoubtedly, José will be an element to pay special attention to this Saturday, as he is a guarantee of the good performance of the red-and-white defense.
