Steven Alzate had a passable game in the draw at King Power against Leicester. Potter this time came out with a diamond in the middle to leave the English Colombo as ‘5’, who ended up lying down more on the right side of the field to support the German Grob. He had a passing accuracy of 88%.
The highlight of the first half
Alzate played ‘5’ in the diamond of four players that Potter had in the middle of the field. Always well positioned to cut passes inside and although he had a couple of poor deliveries, he always appeared to support his teammates. Exits with possession of the ball after recovery in own area, the technique of the English Colombo allowed him to advance in the field to look for the best passing line, although it took him a couple of times to release it.

He leaned more to the right to support the back of Pascal Grob, the German who has a lot of output and little return. In the first half he lost the ball four times, but won 6 of the 7 duels he had, he also had an interception and two opportune closures. He was the best rated by SofaScore in the first half based on his performance with 7.1.
16 minutes in the second half
The midfielder started unfocused. Leicester’s goal came after Maddison created the play after a rebound and the mark was Alzate’s, who was passive and when he had to chase him he stayed a bit, which made it easier for the rival to finish the play that he defined with Daka after a series of rebounds by the Brighton goalkeeper.

At 61′ the coach decided to change the English Colombo to make way for Welbeck. Brighton looked for players with more offensive vocation to find the tie that they finally got with the goal entered by Alzate. With 1-1 they are ninth in the table with 30 units.
