“Yerry Mina is fantastic. When he’s fit, he’s a monster. He loves football, he is always smiling, happy. He loves to fight, he loves to win headshots, and he loves to battle. I feel like in the past, he needed to be 100 percent fit. Sometimes he comes out with little blows, not big injuries, but you don’t want that to happen to your center-back. However, Mina is probably our best center back when in shape.“, sentenced the former Everton player.
“Now it’s about consistency. In seven games, our points are the best in a long time at this stage of the season and Mina is key to that. Having his center in shape is really important, so I hope he can keep going. and the rest can come up to their level, “added Ball.
