Martin Ceres lands today Wednesday in Valencia. The Uruguayan international, who participated in a testimonial way (he took the field in the 89th minute) in Uruguay’s overwhelming victory against Venezuela (4-1) has changed his mind in this winter market. And his challenge is an ‘impossible’.
The central has left the Cagliari, third worst team in the Italian League, only the Salernitana and the Genoa, to exchange it for the worst team in the League, Levante. As it is commonly said, it has passed ‘from Malaga to malagn’. In Italy his team received 44 goals in 23 matches. An average of almost two goals per game. In Levante, an even worse scenario is going to be found. 43 goals in 21 games, just over two per game.
From a defense that was a drain in Italy to another with the same characteristics in Spain. Despite starting playing for Caglirari, Cceres had lost his place in the third worst behind in Serie A and he had been a couple of months without being a starter. At Levante, who were urgently looking for a central defender to try to give hierarchy to an outmatched and erratic defense, he is going to have to take a step forward.
Six centre-backs in the squad
Alessio Lisci is going to find, with the arrival of the Uruguayan, a large squad of central defenders, but they have not given him the expected performance. Vezo, Rober Pier, Postigo, Mustafi (injured), Duarte and the aforementioned Cceres. Six central defenders for two positions that have given more trouble than joy during this campaign.
