Borja Valero: World Cup outsider looking in


Key Soccerlytics Insights:
  • Borja Valero is having his best season yet this year at Fiorentina. In addition to his 5 goals and 7 assists, Valero has developed into a true leader on the pitch for La Viola
  • Valero has the fifth highest accurate final 3rd passes (of players with at least 750 final 3rd passes) in Europe's top 5 leagues. He only trails Xavi, Nasri, Iniesta and Ozil in this category (See BSports Leader boards below)
  • The 29 year old Spanish International has an outside chance of making the final cut for Spain's World Cup squad. He's only appeared for La Roja once in his career and it's truly unfortunate that a player this talented could miss out on the opportunity to take part in soccer's biggest showcase
