Boselli has been a load to deal with for opposing defenders. Although only playing in 12 matches this season he scored an eye-popping 9 goals (26 Shots on Goal) in that frame, not bad for a guy who missed five matches.

Mauro’s ability to find space in the attacking third is crucial to the team’s success. Leon scored 29 goals this season, 4th in the league.

Head Coach Luis Fernando Tena will have to find a way to get Boselli minutes, as his efficiency has been one of the highest in the league.  Boselli has been equally dangerous whether he attacks from the right or left, it’s just up to his midfield to find him and making good on each opportunity.
