Mohun Bagan has signed veteran Spanish defender Hector Yeste from the current Cypriot Cup champion Omonia Nicosia.
Mohun Bagan Super Giant has officially secured the services of Spanish defender Hector Yuste from Omonia Nicosia. This move has sent ripples of excitement throughout the footballing community, especially among Bagan fans.
Football enthusiasts view the addition of the seasoned center-back to the Mohun Bagan squad as a strategic step to bolster their defensive prowess and elevate their game in the upcoming season. Hector, 35, can play both as a defender as well as a defensive midfielder. He represented Omonia against Manchester United last year and defended magnificently against players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcus Rashford, and Eriksen.
Very strong in the air, Hector joins Mohun Bagan with his vast experience in the Spanish 2nd Division and the Cyprus League. Recently he won three championships with the Omonia Nicosia.
Hector started his career at the Spanish Segunda division side Cartagena. His career kick-started when he joined Cadiz CF in 2011-12. Thus, he became a familiar name in the Spanish second division. His last spell in the Spanish league came with Mallorca in 2017. Consequently, his acquisition is expected to significantly fortify the team’s backline, providing a solid foundation upon which their ambitions for success can be built.
Why a veteran like Hector?
After signing Anwar Ali, Mohun Bagan decided to discharge Slavko, as both players functioned from the left side of the field. Hence, having two left-sided center-backs in a 4 man-back system for a possession-based side was hopeless.
The team required a right-footed stopper, who can allow Anwar Ali to push forward and at the same time be a stalwart at the back. Signing Hector is a masterstroke for the Kolkata giants. Hector will occupy the right center-back spot in the team. He is very strong aerially and is a very good tackler, exactly the profile Mohun Bagan needed.
Fans, players, and experts are awaiting the announcement of Yuste’s signing with widespread anticipation.
After releasing Carl, Mohun Bagan didn’t have a foreign central defensive midfielder in the squad. Henceforth Hector’s inclusion can be a step to help Juan solve his midfield dilemma if required.
Mariners will eagerly await the official debut of Hector Yuste in the iconic maroon and green jersey of Mohun Bagan.
