Jesús Vázquez: A Rising Star in Valencia’s Defense

The match at Balaídos ended on a difficult note for everyone involved, leaving little room for positive analysis in the standings. However, the statistics highlight the performance of Jesús Vázquez, who emerged as one of the most prominent players during the phase in which Valencia matched Celta stride for stride. Despite the loss, the left-back proved that his inclusion in the starting lineup was not incidental, but rather the result of hard work and the trust that Carlos Corberán has placed in him.

Against the Galician side, Vázquez recorded the highest distance covered at high intensity among his teammates, surpassing 1,000 meters between 21 and 24 km/h and completing 19 sprints exceeding 24 km/h. This data reflects his power, stamina, and influence during the most demanding moments of the match. On the field, Jesús exhibited the energy and character that the coaching staff has been valuing for weeks.

His starting position against Celta was a deliberate decision: Corberán relied on his abilities in a context where the team needs certainty. With the upcoming match against Elche on the horizon, Jesús Vázquez is positioned as a key player who exudes reliability both physically and competitively.

Jesús’s development is not a recent phenomenon; it stems from a continuous process, supported by some of the most impressive physical statistics within the squad. The club is well aware of his potential: the renewal last summer, driven by Corberán, was a clear indication of confidence in a player born in 2003 who is in a maturation phase. Despite having options to leave, his focus has always remained on Valencia CF, and the club has made its stance clear by shutting down any potential transfers. On the field, Jesús delivers results, and the statistics validate his role as one of the team’s reliable options during a challenging period.
