There were several Guadalajara players who had a noteworthy performance in the opening match against Santos Laguna, so thinking about the player to watch for Day 2 of the Clausura 2025 is a complicated task.
After analyzing the statistics and individual performance of the Rojiblancos during the first match of the tournament, it is inevitable to think that the player to follow against Necaxa will be Erick Gutiérrez, who looks to be one of the pillars of the Rebaño Sagrado in the current tournament.
Gutiérrez started the championship as captain of the team coached by Óscar García, so he assumed the role of leader not only in the dressing room, but also on the field. In the match against Santos, the Rebaño's 15 started as a starter in the double pivot, being one of the main ball distributors and one of the team's standard bearers in the pressure.
The native of Los Mochis played all 90 minutes, in which he left very good statistical records. For example, Gutiérrez won 12 duels on the ground, 6 in the air and recovered 7 balls, which clearly shows his invaluable contribution in defensive phases. In fact, he was the Rojiblanco player who accumulated the best numbers in all the aforementioned aspects.
In terms of offense, Erick Gutiérrez also has a lot to contribute, as in Matchday 1 alone he completed 32 passes, 10 of which were in the final third of the field. In total, he entered the box 6 times looking to be a finisher and kicked on 3 occasions.
There is no doubt of the tremendous value Gutiérrez has for the Guadalajara team coached by Óscar García, which is why he will undoubtedly be the player to watch in Matchday 2 of the Clausura 2025.
