FutMexNation here to bring you an update on our favorite El Tri players abroad.
Eredivisie
Another solid start this weekend for Erick Gutierrez and PSV as they took down RKC Waalwijk 4-1, keeping PSV in first place with 40 points followed closely by their rivals Ajax, who have 39 points. ‘Guti‘ continues to show why he deserves to get a shot at the upcoming qualifiers next month, completing 74 passes along with a 91 percent accuracy and went the full distance playing all 90 minutes. He also had a shot on target in the 80th minute that went off the post. Guti’s tremendous season continues which hopefully puts his name high up on the list for the upcoming qualifiers. Guti and PSV have one more game left for the year, where they take on GO Ahead Eagles on Wednesday, December 23rd before taking a winter break and returning on January 16th.
La Liga
Someone else who has continued to improve throughout the course of the season is Nestor Araujo. Going from a substitute to starting, Araujo has been playing at a really good level and if he continues this pace, he will bring stability to El Tri’s defense. Celta would go on and defeat Espanyol 3-1 on December 17th where Araujo went the full 90 minutes against Espanyol, winning three duels, two on the ground and one aerial. He also managed his touches properly, had fifty-seven precise passes and an 87 percent accuracy with his passes. Currently Celta find themselves in 12th in La Liga, and they will go on break next week and will return to play on Sunday, January 2nd against Real Betis.
