Marcos Alonso - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Starting regularly for Celta Alonso was an unused sub in the 5-0 win over Racing Santander on Sept. 19 but has started five of Celta's seven LaLiga matches this season.

Impact Alonso missed the match against Athletic Club on Aug. 30 due to a suspension and was an unused sub against Racing, but that was because he went the full 90 against Omonia in the UEFA Europa League on Sept. 16. He might be rotated at the domestic level from time to time, but don't be surpised if he's a regular starter at center-back for Celta most of the time.

Impact Alonso was all over in the defense as he earned his team a clean sheet, recording two tackles won, two interceptions and nine clearances.

Impact Alonso will likely regain his place in the initial lineup at the expense of Abdoulaye Faye, who made a rare start while the veteran was suspended. Before being sent off in the second La Liga week, Alonso was very active with totals of 163 accurate passes, 10 clearances and six interceptions over 141 minutes of play.

Yoel Lago, Carl Starfelt and Javi Rodriguez should form the back three while Alonso serves his ban.

Since joining, he has become an important figure in Claudio Giraldez's system, valued for his versatility, his powerful shot, and his ability to anchor the defense as a senior leader both on and off the pitch. In his two seasons with Celta, Marcos has already made 76 official appearances and scored five goals. Furthermore, last season he was the outfield player with the most playing time in a team that is known for its rotation, accumulating 3,759 minutes across 43 official matches, statistics that reflect the confidence placed in a player who consistently delivers strong performances and character. Now in the latter stages of a long career that has included spells at some of Europe's biggest clubs, Alonso extends his run in Vigo with a squad aiming to build on back to back European qualifications.

JANUARY 12 • Associated Press

Five clearances in loss Alonso registered two shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Espanyol. He also added five clearances.

Impact As has been the trend all season long, Alonso was active defensively but also mustered a few shots on goal. Despite playing as a center-back, the veteran has taken 11 shots and created seven chances in 14 games across LaLiga and the Europa League. When adding that to his defensive numbers, Alonso is a solid option to add value on defense, given his peripheral stats -- even if Celta aren't known for posting many clean sheets.

Impact Alonso had another outstanding performance, this time even adding offensive numbers as he used to do during his entire career as a left-back. The defensive numbers alone put Alonso as a great fantasy asset but he would become one of the safest La Liga picks if he starts putting up two-way stat lines regularly.

Impact Alonso was back in the starting XI on Thursday after suffering a knee edema. The defender played the full 90 during a disappointing loss in Germany.
