Bags assist
Llorente assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 win versus Uruguay.
Analysis: Llorente would earn an assist Friday as Spain found themselves on the right side of fortune, with the midfielder linking up with Alex Baena before his strike was parried into the net by the Uruguayan keeper. This would give Llorente his first assist or goal of the tournament, coming after four chances created. He has started in two games at right-back for Spain in the group stage, with Pedro Porro as another option for the team.
Creates three chances Saturday
Llorente recorded two crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Monday's 0-0 draw against Cape Verde.
Analysis: Llorente started at right back for Spain's opening match of the World Cup, playing an advanced role considering his side was on the attack for the majority of the match. He created three chances and recorded two crosses on the attack, though he played a bit further back than his left-sided counterpart Marc Cucurella. He also easily kept a clean sheet, recording two tackles and two clearances in his limited time defending Cape Verde's attack. Llorente's versatility should keep him on the pitch for most -- if not all -- minutes during this World Cup, and his ability to play on all three levels is a massive asset for Spain.
