Jan Oblak: "Héctor Herrera deserves every minute Simeone has given him"

Héctor Herrera arrived last summer at Atlético de Madrid for free, after having finished his contract with Porto, but he has not had the amount of minutes anyone would expect from one of the referents of the Mexican national team. Jan Oblak, mattress goalkeeper, gave a few words about the tricolor player. "Hector (Herrera) I see very well and the opportunities he took advantage of them, making great matches. He deserves all the minutes the coach has given him and if he continues likewise, Simeone will have difficulty knowing which player should play in the center of the field, "he told ESPN. The internal competition for midfield is complicated. Herrera fights for ownership with Koke, Thomas, Saúl Ñíguez and Vitolo, but the Slovenian goalkeeper knows that the Mexican strives at all times. "Herrera has been waiting for him every day working hard. When he had the opportunity he knew how to take advantage of it and I have no doubt that he will continue to have options and play many more games, "he concluded.
