The Fuenlabrada fans I was counting the days until Stephane Mbia (Cameroon, 1985) made his debut with Fuenlabrada. It was against a rival of the category of Leganes, in the derby in the south of Madrid and in what was his first call up as a azulón, a 3×1 that It did not scare the experienced midfielder who was one of the best azulones in the 63 minutes he was on the field.
Accompanying Cristobal in the engine room, the Cameroonian served as ‘box to box’ being the first to step on the rival area as soon as the opportunity asks for it and the first to arrive from those above. Their numbers in the time he was on the field of play also show his good level: 89% of passes both short and long, five recoveries and only three turnovers. All in all, Mbia’s debut could have been even more rounded. The midfielder was the one who bothered the central Bruno so that he introduced the ball into his goal in the first goal of the azulones against Leganés.
The signing of Mbia was closed on the last market day, August 31, and immediately became, together with Pedro León, in the emblematic player of Fuenlabrada outside the walls of Torres. A signing of bells that came to give a leap in level and consistency to a midfield full of doubts and future possibilities. Oltra made reference to that level jump at a press conference: “We knew what Mbia could bring us from the first moment and against Leganés he has shown it. It’s a level jump“.
With the level shown by Cristóbal and Mbia, the return in due time of Konaté and Jano, the irruption of the youth squad Buer and the presence of Nuno Pina and Fuente, Oltra has a wide range of possibilities for a midfield which can become the greatest strength of Fuenlabrada for the umpteenth time.
