Adrian Luna, a Uruguayan, is the horse of Kerala Blasters in the field. The captain who led the Blasters’ game with rhythm and tension. The 29-year-old has six goals to his name since reaching the final. Opportunity for seven. In front of passes and precision crosses. This midfielder is adept at snatching the ball from opponents’ feet with the May flexibility of hawks that hunt prey.
Luna will be the mainstay of the Blasters as they take on the mighty Hyderabad FC. Luna’s passes and long crosses to break through the opposition’s defense will pave the way for Alvaro Vazquez and Jorge Diaz’s goal. Any move outside the box has the potential to sow danger. Luna’s free kick goals against ATK Mohan Bagan and Chennai FC underscore this. All the goals scored during the season were beautiful.
He can easily catch up with Vazquez on the move, as well as make some unique moves alongside Puitia in the midfield. Passes will be given to the box by splitting the defense anywhere. Coach Ivan Vukomanovich’s mind is drawing Luna’s feet on the field.
He has been with Melbourne City in the Australian League for the last two seasons. He scored eight goals in 49 games. He went down in 24 games last season.
