Sometimes the life gives second opportunities, and in the case of Thomas Vermaelen, can say that has known to take advantage of it. To the Belgian opened him a big opportunity after the injury of Samuel Umtiti, and with spectacular performances has consecrated already between the best head offices of Europe, callando all the mouths that so much have criticised him in the last times.
To level of performance on the lawn, at all has to envy Vermaelen to the best head offices of the world. This Sunday, however the Belgian lesionó in the victory harvested by 0-5 against the Real Betis in Benito Villamarín. Until then, in the 13 previous parties defended like a jabato, recovered balloons and showed insuperable by high in almost all the duels.
We do not say it we, but they show it the statistics. And it is that, in the 8 parties of LaLiga Santander that has played this season, Vermaelen so only has committed a loss of balloon. The 'TdP', besides, also informed of other data more than interesting of Vermaelen: 600 minutes, 60 balloons recovered, an assistance of goal, two faults received, two cards received and only five faults committed.
Vermaelen, to the level of the best head offices
Or what is the same, practically one each two parties. Taking into account that the Barça hardly has received goals against in these parties of League, to exception of the 2-4 against the Real Sociedad, can say that the performance of Vermaelen has been excelso. It did six years that was not able to play 14 consecutive parties, but fortunately the injury that has suffered is not grave.
In two weeks, the FC Barcelona will go back to have available to one of the best 'signings' of the market of winter, without any doubt. The Belgian has been all a discovery, and seems unthinkable that did not be the Barça the next season 2018-19 if it follows playing to this level.
