The Argentine defender has become an important player for Villarreal CF
A footballer who impresses wherever he plays. Juan Foyth has become an important part of Villarreal CF’s plans. In the young Argentine, Yellows head coach Unai Emery has found player who is capable of performing impressively in a number of positions.
This season, the Yellows No.8 took part in a total of 25 games (13 in LaLiga, eight in the Europa League and four in the Copa del Rey). As centre-back – his natural position – he has played eight games, seven as a defensive midfielder and the same number of ties as a right-back.
Against Cádiz, Foyth once more underlined his versatility, playing at the base of midfield with Étienne Capoue missing due to suspension. The Argentine played the entire match, with a passing accuracy of 92%. He touched the ball 82 times, winning three ground duels and two aerial duels.
