No one is left in doubt as to the spectacular footballer Sevilla FC have in Éver Banega. However, the Argentine, in his fourth season in Sevilla's colours and with more than 150 games played, is now performing in a role in which he has not previously played, and the numbers he is putting up demonstrate the 10's great performances. The midfielder, with 62, has the most recoveries in the league after seven matchdays.
With the injuries that the team has suffered in the middle of the park, such as Gonalons and Amadou, Pablo Machín has needed some players to adapt to new positions to balance their play, and although Banega has not changed his position on the pitch too much, he has started to perform in a new, fundamental role for Sevilla due to the injuries. With the eight recoveries that he made on Saturday in Ipurua, the Argentine, primarily offensive minded, now leads a list of players, even above specialists such as Wakaso or Pique.
Without a clear defensive specialist due to injuries, Banega has starred as a ball-winner, leading this statistic in the league
