Football at Its Most Relentless, at the Feet of Natalia Mauleón | OneFootball

Following her performance in the Clásico Tapatío, the player to watch in Chivas Femenil’s next match against Rayadas needs no introduction. Natalia Mauleón found the ways and the precise timing to fit into Antonio Contreras’ style of play, so from now on, the sky is the limit.

Natalia’s impact on the team was already noticeable, but it was against Atlas that it truly exploded both with and without the ball. A hat-trick of assists, ball recoveries, circulation and runs from the second line crowned a complete performance from the Rojiblanca No. 14.

Those are precisely the attributes that have earned her the role as Guadalajara’s creative midfielder, forming an important partnership with Carolina Jaramillo: Mauleón puts on the workman’s overalls, covering much more ground, while the ‘Comandante’ focuses on delivering with her privileged left foot.

There is no need to emphasize the Michoacana’s vision of the game, not only with the ball, as she knows how to perfectly identify the jumps needed to initiate Chivas’ pressing. Recovering and circulating is the mantra under which she plays. If there is something she may still be missing, it is a goal; but don’t worry, Chivahermanos: it is only a matter of time before we celebrate one together.

So now you know, this Saturday at 5 PM, special attention should be paid to Natalia Mauleón at Estadio AKRON. We assure you that she will surprise you in more than one way.
