And after Cachete, what? Milton Helmet. Immediate response. The entrerriano, even without sharing catalog characteristics with Gonzalo montiel, He showed against Vélez that he is the first option to occupy the right side. Although he has neither the muscle for hand-in-hand nor the full-time deployment of the now Sevilla reinforcement, he makes up for such deficits with his tactical versatility and, above all, tactical intellectuality.
That intelligence is what allows him to understand the moments: if at 33 the body does not allow him to be incisive, then he must appeal to criteria. Clear example: his active participation in the play prior to 1-0. An irruption in the area in speed, attacking with a sprint a good pass from Suárez, which led to the lack of Ortega.
Now, when Casco didn’t go projections, he did it through his passes. Ambidextrous by dedication -in María Grande his father urged him to work both profiles- Chanchi being right-handed is capable of giving a soft slap pass, cutting the ball with an external face of booty, like the one he gave to leave hand in hand to Braian romero eight minutes into the second half and from the field of River (The play ended in a millimetrically deflected cross shot).
Later, after anesthetizing the ball with his chest and entertaining it with the tip of the boot, he gave another free sample of his talent by searching with a precise center for Rubio, who did not manage to beat Hoyos with his head.
On the mark it was very fine
Casco also contributed a brand: his offensive effort was not at the expense of defense, neither when he covered the right wing nor when changing sectors after Angileri’s injury. He closed his statistics sheet with a 92.3% success rate in the duels (he won 12 of 13; two of them, aerial), four interceptions, eight recoveries and six takes away.
Figures that allow it to show itself as the most reliable option for the post-Cachete era: while Alex Vigo continues to go through a logical adaptation process -which may be rushed by the urgencies- Milton provided a quick answer to the question that Montiel’s departure generated .
