Impact Valentin's performance was integral to Ray Vallecano earning a point from their 0-0 draw with Celta Vigo on Sunday. Valentin has been fully restored to the starting XI since serving a one-match ban for yellow card accumulation. He had started and made a significant impact in the holding-midfielder role in the two matches since his return, accumulating 14 tackles (nine won), eight interceptions, five clearances and two blocks. While Valentin is a stalwart defender in the midfield, his one goal in 96 career La Liga appearances show that he does not offer much in terms of an attacking threat.
