He is the player who has given the most passes (240) for the club, and completed the most minutes (360) along with Mamardashvili and Gayà, in the 5 games played by Valencia CF in the current LaLiga campaign. Furthermore, he is the midfielder seventh with the most passes made in LaLiga. Of the 240 he has attempted, 83.75% have been successful.
