What did the 33-year-old midfielder do under the instructions of the Spanish coach
APOEL's first transfer is Sergio Tejera, who signed a one-year contract. Although no special recommendations are needed for the Spanish midfielder… his partnership with David Gallego in Anorthosis makes even clearer the role he is expected to have in the Blue and Yellows.
In particular, the 33-year-old midfielder was a “key” player in the hands of the Iberian coach, being the A and Z in the axis of the “Lady”. He had a decisive role in the organization of the game, but also in controlling the tempo in each match, something very important for a coach who wants a game of possession.
But beyond his excellent ball handling and very good transfers (one of the main foul and corner kickers), he is also a football player who gives many “battles” in the center area. His combativeness and dynamism are also some of his main characteristics.
To all of the above, let's add Tehera's ability to lead in the locker room, thus becoming a player capable of guiding those around him. . For the fans of numbers, it should be noted that during Gaiego's tenure he had a total of 21 appearances, three assists, and eight yellow cards, which is understood to be something he needs to pay attention to ahead of the new season.
In short, APOEL added to the potential of an experienced player, who knows extremely well not only the Cypriot league, but also the “wants” of his coach. A choice of known value and low risk, with the only question mark being his age.
