Players to Watch

Mason Greenwood (Getafe)

He drifts into the central positions more often to get involved with the build-up play. Greenwood tends to tuck inside coming into the final third with the center-forward. This tendency gives Getafe’s attack more dimension. A natural-born finisher with ice-cold composure. The level of control Greenwood exudes when in shooting positions allows him to execute such good shots.

Sergio Camello (Rayo Vallecano)

One player who has been crucial to Rayo is 22-year-old forward Sergio Camello. Camello’s impressive work rate has impressed many in LaLiga. At only 22 years old, Camello has shown he has what it takes to play among the elite of LaLiga. Even though is not on the scoresheet many times he always helps his team to push forward.
