In a bad moment for Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea, which has not raised its head in its last commitments, it gave life to Everton and Yerry Mina. The ‘Toffees’, with the Colombian on the field during the 90 minutes, added three vital points for a single goal from Richarlison. Mina had a great performance in the defensive area and earned praise from Frank Lampard and English media such as the Liverpool Echo.
His coach Frank Lampard said, ‘Yerry has leadership, presence, personality. We didn’t know if he was going to get back up in the second half, he sat down and then stood up, but I’m proud that he’s back and that he’s fine physically.’
He also commented, ‘Yerry is a great leader for us, for the whole team. It’s good to see him back.’ The one from Guachené, Cauca played a match once more following missing the MerseySide classic once morest Liverpool. Against Chelsea he did see 90 minutes and his participation was praised.
Liverpool Echo highlighted his game and maintained that it was missing from Everton’s defensive scheme. ‘It’s clear when he’s on defence, he dominates those around him very well and is a calming influence at the back. Everton have missed out on the unique qualities he brings to the side with his reading of the game and his physique’, plus the English midfielder gave him an eight rating.
