The team, in play-off positions to LaLiga Santander, has accumulated 36 points out of 19 matches, counting 11 victories, 3 draws and 5 defeats (22 goals scored and 13 conceded). The official statistics of the silver division show some very interesting numbers, including those of the Malaguista first team from an individual aspect:
The one who plays the most
Pau Torres is the undisputed leader as, without counting the Cup match against Almería, he has played every complete match so far this season (19). As such, the young central defender has accumulated the most minutes (1,710).
The one who scores the most
Blanco Leschuk has excelled as the ‘pichichi’ practically since the start of the competition. His 6 goals, all scored at La Rosaleda, have been decisive in the team’s victories and many points scored in games with a tight result.
The one who assists the most
Ontiveros, tied with Leschuk, is the player who has given the most goal passes (3). His connection with the Argentinean striker led to important advantages at the start of the league, thanks to his imbalance in the one-on-ones and his danger in set pieces.
The one who shoots the most
Blanco Leschuk leads this aspect of the game with a total of 38 shots, 17 at the target for 6 goals. This is a success percentage of 35% when his shots find the net of the opponent’s goal.
The one who passes the most
Adrián is the player who has made the most deliveries to a teammate, totalling 792 passes. 646 of these have been correct, meaning 81.5% of his passes have reached their destination, almost always starting from midfield.
The one who crosses the most
Cifuentes, from the right wing, has made a total of 50 crosses on the attack so far in the league competition. Having played 10 matches, this is a productive average of 5 per game. In addition, Ontiveros has taken the most corners (29).
The one who saves the most
Munir, logically, because of his place in the starting line-up against Kieszek and the as yet to play Andrés Prieto, is the goalkeeper who has made the most saves, with 36 in 16 matches (2.25 per match). Some have been decisive in adding points to the pot.
The one who dribbles the most
Ontiveros, a species almost extinct in modern football, uses his quality in the form of feints and breaks when facing a defender on the wings. The Marbella-born winger has dribbled on 54 occasions, leaving his rival behind 30 times.
The one who recovers the most
N’Diaye, with the exception of Munir due to his status as a goalkeeper, is the footballer who has recovered the most balls so far this season. The exuberant Senegalese pivot has stolen possession 101 times in 15 matches (6.73 on average per game).
