A auctioneer who bitterly defends the centrals, who endures the ball, associates well in the attack and is able to send to the net any ball that crosses the area. Valencia needed that alternative to complete a lead in which Rodrigo and Gameiro already put the skill and speed. A classic battering ram that he found in Maxi Gómez , the young Uruguayan international who launched flashes from Celta while growing up looking for the wake of Suárez or Cavani , the heritage of Fonseca or Forlán .

'El Toro' could not be anything other than footballer. Everyone in his family had been, even his older sister, but none with his ability and temperament. With 17 years he left Paysandú, on the Uruguayan border with Argentina, to prove himself in the Defensor Sporting of Montevideo. He did not know that his life would be marked by football until he was 19 years old to launch the last penalty of the round of 16 of the South American Cup against Lanús. He had jumped to the grass in the 71st minute and had the glory of the team in a ball eleven meters from the goal. "They asked me if I wanted to kick and I said yes. I scored and at that moment I knew it was worth soccer," the forward confessed in an interview as soon as he stepped on Vigo.

Three seasons later he has fulfilled his dream of playing the Champions League not only in the game console. That was the main argument that made him break up with his agent, bent on taking him to English West Ham, and agreeing to play at Mestalla. Maxi showed there the character he tries to control in the field after a controversial fight with a veteran partner in Defensor, with whom he fists in a changing room tunnel.

In the puzzle of his signing by a team with economic constraints he had the collaboration of Santi Mina , wanting to return to Vigo, to adjust the price to 14.5 million, and the intervention of Stellar Group, the agency of Jonathan Barnett that He has Gareth Bale in his wallet and that shadows Jorge Mendes himself .

With its 1.86 meters high, the Uruguayan has become the attack reference of the Celades team, releasing Rodrigo's talent as an assistant, who has been delayed his position but takes advantage of the gaps that open in the defenses and the second moves it generates. Another of his accomplices has been Ferran Torres . The understanding he had with Iago Aspas in Celta has been found in Mestalla with the young canterano, talented and irreverent at 19, with whom he has a special tuning in the dressing room. Both are newcomers to the 'family' that have become essential.

In the last three seasons, Maxi has scored an average of 15 goals while in the first round of the League he has already achieved seven, three of them leading. The last exploiting the connection with Wass , reconverted on the right side, with whom he shared a shirt in the Galician team.

The charrúa is already the top scorer of Valencia in the League. He has not yet released in the Champions League, but he will try to do it today in the semifinal of the Super Cup, with the responsibility of finding the cracks to Ramos and Varane . Rodrigo will not help you, but you will have to explore in your relationship with Gameiro .
