This current season for Newell's Old Boys has seen a remarkable shift in midfield, and at the center of this transformation is Valentino Acuña. His boundless energy and ability to connect with forwards have made him a pivotal player. The team's latest victory over Gimnasia was a clear example of his influence.

Acuña, with his precise passes and game vision, allowed Newell's Old Boys to maintain ball possession and generate opportunities. So far this season, he has completed over 600 passes, showcasing statistics that place him among the best midfielders in the League.

The 24-year-old has been a revelation for fans, who have begun to fill Estadio Marcelo Bielsa each time he plays at home. He wears La Lepra's jersey with passion, echoing the hopes and dreams of supporters who envision a bright future. His ability to break through rival defenses creates an electric dynamic on the pitch.

With each match, Acuña's synergy with forwards like M. Cóccaro and F. García improves. His aggressive yet intelligent playing style positions him as a key player in the club's pursuit of a spot in international competitions. Will Acuña be able to maintain this level and be the driving force La Lepra needs this season?
