The season of
Pedro Chirivella, represented by
Promoesport, can be summed up in a concatenation of stelar performances, both in
Ligue 1, where
Nantes is five points below European positions, and in the
French Cup, where they are already in
semifinals after beating
Bastia by
2-0. The Spanish midfielder has been, again, one of the most outstanding players in this quarterfinals game.
All the team’s offense went through him. 63 completed passes, on a 92% success rate, seven of eight in long, make him the
player with the most passes on his team. The midfield leader was the responsible of the creation and distribution of the ball, but he was also fundamental on his approaches to the opposition’s box. His
two key passes, top in the game, prove it. Besides, he helped a lot defensively, with ten recoveries and ten individual duels won.
In the semifinals,
Mónaco, one of their direct rivals in the fight for European positions in the Ligue 1, are awaiting after defeating
Amiens by a 2-0 result. Before, in the regularity competition, Chirivella’s Nantes will have to face
Stade Reims, who they could strike a major blow to, and a
PSG with their heads on their key game in the
UEFA Champions Leagueagainst
Real Madrid. On the other hand, the midfielder will seek to keep up his superb performances to bring his team closer to their goals.
