The so-called football power often has a lot of unknown but very powerful grassroots players. Argentina has seen a surge of talent in recent years, not only in the midfield a group of young people who are extremely suitable for Messi, but also in the attacking line there are many less well-known but very powerful players, shining in the five major leagues. Trejo, a 33-year-old Argentine forward who plays for Rayo Vallecano, made Barca miserable in the last round of La Liga, sending 6 assists in 10 times in the new season, ranking second in the La Liga assist list.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >01</h1>
Born on 26 April 1988, Trejo grew up in the academy of Argentine giants Boca, but he did not make an appearance for the first team, and was taken away by Mallorca in La Liga at the age of 18 for 2.5 million euros.
Just arrived in the Iberian Peninsula, at the age of 18, he scored a goal, which many people have high hopes for. At the age of 19, he became a member of the team's rotation line-up, contributing 2 goals and 1 assist in a single season. However, he was ultimately unable to gain a foothold in La Liga, and then successively tossed Elche and Vallecano in La Liga, scoring 9 goals in a single season at the age of 22 and playing a certain reputation.
At the age of 23, he switched to Athletic Gijón and returned to the La Liga stage. In 2 seasons, he scored 10 goals and contributed 12 assists. Ligue 1's Toulouse took him and spent €2 million to bring him to France, scoring 12 goals in three seasons.
Because of unforgettable time in Vallecano, the 29-year-old Trejo chose to join his old club, who was still in La Liga, after his contract expired at Toulouse. Contributing 12 goals and five assists in the first year, he brought the team back to La Liga, but the team was relegated again the following year. In the 2020-21 season, Rayo Vallecano only finished 6th in the league, barely qualifying for the promotion play-offs. As a result, they first doubled third-place Leganes in the league, and then completed a 2-0 away comeback in the first leg of a 2-1 defeat at home to Girona. Trejo scored a key goal for promotion and led the team back to La Liga.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="70" >02. Ability to pick up with the ball: and know how to pass the ball in time</h1>
Trejo is 33 years old and is already very mature. He plays as a forward in the game, can control the ball, dribble and advance, while at the same time knowing how to pass the ball in time. In the La Liga match against Barca, Vallecano, who mainly plays high-position pressing, is under his leadership, playing wave after wave of rapid offensive and defensive conversions, making the Red and Blue Army bitter.
As you can see from the GIF, this time facing Busquets' defense, Trejo's turn was too beautiful. Nico failed to close the door in time, and Garcia did not dare to rush up when he saw Trejo speeding up, allowing his opponent to drive straight in. Trejo was not greedy, he gave the flank a timely split, but unfortunately his teammates handled it very badly.
Looking at the offensive and defensive conversion this time, Trejo suddenly grabbed the ball Busquets, and then sent a straight ball to find Falcao. The latter scored into the penalty area and scored, allowing Barca to swallow the bitter fruit of the loss on the road. Falcao became a hero in the lights, but Trejo was the real starting point of the attack.
In the match against Barca, Trejo won 8 of 13 1-on-1 encounters on his feet, 4 with the ball all successfully, in addition to assists, he also delivered 2 key passes with shots, and contributed 2 steals, 1 interception and 1 clearance on the defensive end.
Trejo is characterized by a strong sense of receivership when the attack is launched, and the last pass that follows the attack is quick. This time, he was hooked on the heel in front of the penalty area, giving Falcao a good chance to shoot.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="71" >03. Argentina should consider la Liga's first midfielder</h1>
So far this season, Trejo has made 10 starts and 1 substitute, contributing 2 goals and 6 assists, as well as 19 key passes to bring shots, 3 of which are absolute scoring opportunities. His coverage on the pitch is quite large, and although he is 33 years old, his running ability is not bad. Maybe Argentina could consider the veteran as Messi's replacement.
Many times fans may feel that Trejo's assists do not seem to be of very high quality, and there is no Messi's clever pass to penetrate the defense with one foot, nor does de Bruyne's perfect arc. But Trejo's strength lies in his observation of space and the timeliness of the ball, as well as the resulting acceleration of the offensive end. The kick was awarded to Garcia, who cut inside and scored on goal.
Looking at the attack this time, after the teammates started to advance, the ball in the middle of the road was given to the flank by Trejo. It seems that there are some frequent passes, and the key is not to delay the rhythm. It was Garcia who scored most of his goals this season, which had been linked to Trejo's timely scoring.
So far in the new season, Trejo has contributed 6 assists, just one less than Benzema, and ranks second in la Liga assists.
Trejo not only passes the ball quickly, but also makes decisive shooting choices. This time Barca centre-back Garcia made a mistake in passing the ball, and Trejo took the ball and directly declared a long-range hanging shot. Fortunately, Ter Stegen's feet moved quickly to resolve the crisis.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="73" > concluding remarks:</h1>
Argentina has no shortage of good players, and the last few years have been full of talent. In particular, the manager Scaloni was bold and careful, and made the best use of people, which made the team's combat effectiveness go up to a large level. Maybe Trejo was ultimately unable to qualify because of his age, but with more options, it's always a good thing for the Argentine national team.
