Luis Alberto He has been an important player in the A league. Last season he closed it with six goals and 16 assists and led Lazio to the Champions League more than thirteen years later. However, the beginning of this campaign was not being easy for the magician of San José del Valle. Despite never losing the status of starter, he was finding it difficult to be decisive in dangerous positions on the opposite field and he was surrounded in a controversy with Claudio Lotito, president and owner of the club. He began by exercising a more positional work and helping the team in the ball exit and it was not key in the opposite area.
However, the Spanish midfielder is beginning to show his best level in the last month of competition. In the last game, against Parma, he opened the can of his kit with a great definition from the heart of the area after a good pass from Lazzari. The entrance of Gonzalo escalante in the center of the field has freed him from part of the defensive work and has scored three important goals in the last five games of his team. In the last one, he also gave 7 key passes and created 3 scoring opportunities.
