The Osasuna youth academy graduate has had little time to cool off from rigours of footballing action, with 100 percent participation in La Liga and UEFA Champions League with Malaga, while also maintaining his slot in Vicente Del Bosque’s plans
for Spanish national team.
With Spanish top flight football calendar pages being crossed off as the days are consumed by, the two months of competition are leaving behind tired legs players, which have begun to show their signs. Some players are understandably more worn out than others.
At La Rosaleda, there is a fixed selection of players who have earned the trust of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-c23383 Pellegrini. As many as four players have played every minute of the 2012/13 La Liga action, accumulating a total of 990 minutes in the seven domestic outings, while
also appearing in Los Anchovies four UEFA Champions League appearances.
Willy Caballero, Martin Demichelis, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Weligton-c36756 have been permanent fixtures in Malaga’s adventures. With the Chilean coach having no preferred replacements for the aforementioned stars, they have not had any rest or rotation to cool off from
the hectic schedule.
Amongst them all, left-back, Ignacio ‘Nacho’ Monreal stands as the player with the most number of minutes against his name. Additionally, he has also played two games with La Roja since the start of international encounters after Euro 2012 and London Olympic
Games.
The two friendly matches in mid-August and early September have seen the Malaga start being a starter. The Malaga defender from Navarro added 55 minutes in Spanish national team’s visit to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Puerto-Rico-c2985, while completing the international fixture against Saudi
Arabia at the start of September.
However, the workload does not end there for Monreal, who was also given the call for La Roja’s 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604
man back in action, he looks set to face a similar fate in the matches against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899. 
Undoubtedly, the left side player is imperative to Malaga’s plans and is living the shining moments of his career under Pellegrini and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Del Bosque.
