Which give him even more motivation ahead of the final stretch
A key player in Ricardo Sa Pinto's plan is obviously Lucas Villafanes and it is certainly important for the Argentine to be in good shape. In the first matches of the playoffs, we can say that the 32-year-old ace showed some fatigue, however, like everyone in the “blue and yellow”, he had the opportunity to take a breather to give them… all in view of the final stretch.
In addition to the others, the fact that the experienced midfielder has two special challenges ahead of him, which undoubtedly give him great motivation, deserves a special mention. The first of these concerns that if he manages to have a direct participation in one more goal (goal or assist) then he will equal his most productive year, as far as the institution of the league is concerned.
More specifically , in 2010 he scored seven goals and shared two more with Comisión de Actividades Infantiles, in Argentina's second division. At the moment, he has four goals and the same number of assists, having actually been directly involved in eight goals. A performance he repeated three more times (two with Panaitolikos and once with Panathinaikos).
Of course, there is no question that the most remarkable thing is the fact that he claims the first championship in his career. He has celebrated a Greek Cup (Panathinaikos) and an Argentinian Cup (Huracan), however he has never finished at the top of a country.
So you understand that Villafanes' motivations are very high and he is called upon to help even more in order to achieved the coveted goal of his team.
