Chema Andres shines in Stuttgart’s dominant victory over Wolfsburg

In a commanding display, Chema Andres played a pivotal role in VfB Stuttgart’s 3-0 triumph against Wolfsburg on Saturday afternoon. The former Real Madrid Castilla midfielder showcased his skill and tenacity in the heart of the midfield, partnering with fellow standout Angelo Stiller, a player linked with a potential move to Madrid. This performance marks another chapter in Chema’s impressive season, as he continues to establish himself as a key figure for Stuttgart.

Throughout the match, Chema was instrumental, completing the full 90 minutes—a consistent feature of his play this season. He recorded an impressive 67 touches and demonstrated his passing prowess by successfully executing 44 out of 51 attempts, resulting in an 86% pass accuracy. Among these passes were two long balls and a crucial key pass that highlighted his vision and ability to orchestrate play from deep. His contributions were not limited to attacking play; defensively, he was equally effective, registering eight recoveries, one tackle, three interceptions, one block, and one clearance. Furthermore, he emerged victorious in eight duels, reinforcing his all-around performance.

Tactical Masterclass

Chema’s performance was not just about numbers; it was a tactical masterclass that illustrated his understanding of the game. Operating primarily as a deep-lying playmaker, he dictated the tempo and flow of the match. His ability to transition from defense to attack seamlessly allowed Stuttgart to maintain control against a challenging Wolfsburg side. The synergy between him and Stiller created a formidable midfield pairing that stifled Wolfsburg’s attempts to build momentum.

Future Prospects

With performances like this, whispers of a potential return to Real Madrid are growing louder. Chema’s development since leaving the Castilla team has been remarkable, and his current form could make him an attractive option for Los Blancos as they look to bolster their midfield options. As Stuttgart continues to climb the Bundesliga standings, Chema will undoubtedly be a player to watch closely.

As he looks ahead, one must wonder: can Chema maintain this level of performance? If he does, it may not be long before he finds himself back at Valdebebas.
