Luna is the main arrow of coach Ivan Vukomanovich. There is a good reason for that. Luna only has the title of attacking midfielder. Sometimes he would be in the front row with Vasquez. Or in the middle with Sahal. Luna is also on the defensive line to prevent the opposing team from jumping
Adrian Luna is not just a player for the Kerala Blasters. Luna can be described as the engine of the team. He is a player who fights for the ball for 90 minutes of the game without losing any energy. Luna, who hails from Uruguay with Diego Forlan and Luis Suarez, has been instrumental in the Blasters’ rise to prominence this season. Luna, a fan of Messi, is as much a rainbow genius on the field as Messi.
Throwball Maestro
The Blasters management has been able to bring a number of foreign players under the team’s umbrella over the past six years. But no one had the energy to move the Blasters forward. Luna was thought by fans to be just like that. But the Blasters’ first win of the season against Odisha overcame prejudice.
The match saw six attacking midfielders, including Adrian Luna. The Blasters defeated Odisha 2-1. Alvaro Vazquez and Prashant were the scorers. Luna’s accurate passes led to both goals. If the ball lands in Luna’s boot, the front line will pave the way for the goal.
The ball was received from her own half and passed to Luna Vazquez with one touch. The ball easily reached Vasquez through the Odisha players and it ended in a goal. Luna’s magic was also present in the second goal. Prashant was given a through pass from outside the box as he advanced with the ball through Odisha’s defensive line.
Vukomanovich’s loyal ‘bow’
