Roberto Rosales (Malaga RB) - WTF a fullback who defends!?

Look for the right back in the clip who shuts down Neymar and Jordi Alba in Malaga's 1-0 win over Barca in February. This is a combo clip with Juanpi, the AM, who came on as a sub in the second half for Juanmi (yes, there isn't a typo in this statement).



Rosales joined Malaga in the summer from Twente, so cloggy probably can fill us in on whether this was a once-off performance or the Venezuelan performing to his normal level. Granted, part of the shutdown was also due to Neymar's and Alba's shitness in their crosses.

I stumbled on this performance as I was wondering if it made sense to say that a defence that didn't let in a cricket score to both Real Madrid and Barcelona in 4 league games must be doing something right and have some decent defenders. Turns out Malaga was the only team I think (maybe Celta Vigo as well, not sure) outside the top 6 or 7 clubs which didn't get murdered in every game. Their 2 games with Barca ended 0-0 and 1-0 (win), and then I think lost 2-1 and 3-1 to Real Madrid. Conceding 6 goals in 4 games against two clubs scoring over 200 goals put together is probably a bit good.
