Half a year has passed since Samuel Lino started the season. He did it under Simeone’s orders and with his future in the air. The Brazilian landed in Madrid this summer, after taking a great course at the Portuguese Gil Vicente, without the certainty of staying at the rojiblanco club. He started the preseason on July 10 along with the rest of the squad, but just over two weeks later, on the 28th, His assignment to Valencia was made official. Since then, a lot has changed both his situation and his consideration. It came to be unknown to most Spanish fans and is already a reality in the Spanish League. This Wednesday He confirmed it with a goal and a more than remarkable performance in the Super Cup semifinalsbut has been displaying extraordinary performance since the beginning of the course.
In the rojiblanca entity, a loan was chosen due to the accumulation of non-EU members and the great competition that existed in that left lane, with Carrasco, Lodi and Saúl fighting for a position. However, the Brazilian ended up leaving for Nottingham Forest in search of minutes and Neither Saúl nor Carrasco have been able to offer the team what Lino is proving to contribute to Valencia. While the youth squad player has not been the same since his loan to Chelsea, the Belgian footballer still has not found his best version and, after being of vital importance in the conquest of the League during the pandemic (20-21), has added two consecutive seasons away from that unbalancing and differential player that he was one day. Thus, all eyes are now directed to the possible alternatives available to the team for the next course, and given the economic limitations that the entity has and the great performance of the Santo André (Brazil) player. His name is one of those who sounds loudest to occupy the left wing of the Metropolitan next season.

Despite the unsatisfactory first stretch of the campaign for the Turia team, Lino has been able to attract the attention of more than one sports director for his verticality, its speed and its ability to overflow. The Valencian 16 does not know what substitution is in the League and, being a winger, He is the second field footballer who accumulates the most minutes (1463 ‘), behind Thierry Correia (1506′). He has three goals and one assist this season and practically has doubled its market value. Of the almost seven million euros at which Olocip valued him last year, it has become worth more than 13.3. It is also endorsed by artificial intelligence. Linen He is the third player who generates the most value on his team according to Olocip (only Correia and Cömert surpass him), and the second in the League that causes the most impact with its conductions. In addition, the tool, based on the information provided by artificial intelligence, places him as the top footballer who contributes the most quality in the construction of the game and in second plays.
Both the numbers and the sensations contrast with those of a Carrasco who has only recorded one goal so far this year and no assists. Saúl does not seem to enter Simeone’s plans as the team’s starting winger and Reguilón will return to London at the end of this season. The Brazilian meets two conditions that the man from Buenos Aires values enormously: humility and work. Against Madrid he was the main source of danger for the Valencian side, a real pain in the ass for the white defense, but also an important man from a defensive standpoint. His predisposition has always been adequate and he does not hesitate to make defensive efforts. His departure from his field in the 82nd minute of the Super Cup semifinals due to calf cramps is good proof of this, an essential requirement to play under Cholo. Until now, Carrasco has maintained the starting status, but the doubts that hover around his figure are increasing, and the Brazilian does not stop knocking on the door. The end of the season will mark the future of next summer, and Lino doesn’t seem to have any intention of slowing down.
