Personality, character, concentration and drive to peers. This is how the English media see Yerry Mina this season with Everton. The Colombian adds 457 minutes in 6 games, 5 as a starter and only lost one of those commitments, without the defender they cut their unbeaten Premier League last weekend after the defeat against West Ham and The Athletic was forceful in pointing out that Ogbonna’s goal showed that the Selection goal is missing for the Toffees.
Although Benítez had stated that Mina was available for the weekend, in the end he decided on Ben Godfrey, the 23-year-old who, unlike the previous season, had a hard time showing his level and together with Keane they made a pair in the defending. In the end, the winning goal for his rival was due to an error in the mark of the Englishman who lost the reference of the Italian who scored with a header.
According to BeSoccer, The Colombian is the best of the center-backs that Benítez usually uses in terms of recoveries, interceptions and duels both on the ground and in the air. Mina has become much more confident in her third season with the club and it shows not only in her performance but also in her behavior on the pitch. He assumed a leadership role that his peers respect and support.

Liverpool Echo He also agrees with The Athletic regarding Mina’s foul on the court, although they take it more for the push he gives his teammates. They claim that Yerry would have done more to prevent the corner kick than it was for West Ham’s goal and that he is always in the area motivating his teammates to stay focused and attentive to the plays.
Next Saturday, October 23, Everton will host Watford del Cucho Hernández for the ninth day of the Premier League and Toffees fans look forward to seeing Mina leading the defense. The team is eighth with 14 points, one from the international competition zone.
