It did not take so long: Yerry Mina did not exceed 4 qualifying points at Everton after his presentations against Liverpool, Southampton and Newcastle and already against Manchester United coach Ancelotti had no other option but to send him to the bench. He was no longer smiling.
The good thing is that, instead of ‘pouting’ in the punishment chair, the Colombian concentrated on training like never before, more than ever, surely with work he would overcome the bump that he, first of all the critics, had already identified since before the playoff break in October 2020.
And he came back recharged, and the battery reached him not only to finish the year at the top and among the best qualified of his team, with scores of more than 7 points against Chelsea (1-0), Leicester (0-2) and Arsenal ( 2-1), nothing less, but to start 2021 full of motivation.
The numbers of his latest outings speak for him and in the statistics he definitely does not go unnoticed: Mina is the current leader of duels won in the entire Premier League.
According to the specialized site Fie Yards, the Colombian totals 50 duels won, a 78 percent efficiency in his position, surpassing Willy Bolli (Wolverhampton), who follows him closely with 77 percent.
The account assures that Mina is above revelations such as Ezri Konza, of Aston Villa, who is third with the same 77 percent accuracy in the personal duel.
In fact, it can be said, far from the cold defensive numbers, that only he can collaborate so efficiently in the defensive phase and in the offense, since he has two touchdowns in his 14 games this season.
Mina, unlike James, is challenged not to demonstrate anything new but to maintain the tremendous level that she showed at the end of last year. It is very clear that what does not kill him strengthens him and that is why it is to be expected that, after the revenge he is already experiencing with Everton, he will do the same in March with the Colombian National Team. The numbers augur a happy rematch.
