Deyna Castellanos Player Performance

[JRockBlues]

Skippered Venezuela in a 1-0 victory against Uruguay in the Copa America Femenina last night. Scored the goal with a terrific free-kick too which you can see towards the end of the highlights video posted on the OS

Man City website

Superb free kick!

Scored the first in a 2-0 win against Peru. Not quite as spectacular as the one previously posted but coolly taken anyway.

Knocked in a pretty decent effort in a friendly for Venezuela against Scotland.

Oooooh, how I would like to have seen that one sailing over Earps's head next month!

A good read on Deyna Castellanos for those that haven't seen it on the City website:

Inspiring the next generation

Is her 1st name a coincidence or is she named after the Escape To Victory and City star Kazik?

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

I have been distinctly underwhelmed by her.

Agree, but I think previously she played further forward, more of a number 10. Not sure how much she's played as a centre midfielder before, but the game does seem to bypass her a bit.

We should give her a bit of leeway I guess - first season in a new country, new league and (I think) new position. Hopefully she has a better 2nd season, like many of the men's team end up doing after signing.
