Fires off tree shots
Vicente registered three shots (one on goal) and four crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 5-0 loss versus Celta Vigo. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 93rd minute.
Analysis: Vicente would play the full 90 Saturday after a bench role in the last contest, with the forward recording three shots in his time on the field. That said, he would not score and remains goalless this season, with two assists as his only goal contributions.
Sets up Santander's first goal
Vicente had an assist while crossing three times (one accurate) and creating five chances during Saturday's 2-1 win over Alaves.
Analysis: Vicente set up Yassir Zabiri for Santander's first goal in the 38th minute while leading his side in chances created. The winger has two assists to go along with 13 chances created and nine crosses over his last three starts.
Creates two chances Saturday
Vicente registered two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Rayo Vallecano. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 35th minute.
Analysis: Vicente created two chances in Saturday's loss, tied for the most on the team, and now has created 11 chances over his last three matches. He's been productive on the attack to start the season, and while he only has one shot attempt through four matches, his creation has been very good. He was also strong on the defensive end Saturday, recording two tackles, three interceptions and two clearances in his full 90 minutes of action.
Assists on Friday
Vicente assisted once to go with four crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Friday's 3-2 victory against Elche.
Analysis: Vicente set up Yassir Zabiri's hat-trick goal in the 36th minute. Vicente recorded 40 passes, registered the most crosses in his team and created a whopping six chances. This was also his first LaLiga goal contribution.
Fit to play against Wolves
Vicente (undisclosed) is fit to play in Saturday's friendly against Wolves, according to the club.
Analysis: Vicente had previously been dealing with discomfort that ruled him out of the earlier friendly against Osasuna, so his availability now confirms he has recovered from that setback. He was one of the standout performers in LaLiga2 last season, contributing nine goals and 20 assists across 41 appearances, and his return positions him to build on that production heading into Racing Santander's return to LaLiga.
Won't play against Osasuna
Vicente (undisclosed) is not training fully due to discomfort and will not be an option for Friday's friendly against Osasuna, according to Oskar Garcia of SER Cantabria.
Analysis: Vicente was one of the standout performers in La Liga 2 last season, contributing nine goals and 20 assists across 41 appearances during Racing Santander's promotion campaign. His current discomfort is a setback worth monitoring given how central he was to the club's attack last season, and his path back to full training will be important to track as Racing continues its preseason preparations ahead of the return to LaLiga.
Creative wide threat
Vicente delivered an outstanding campaign for Racing Santander in La Liga 2, making 41 appearances including 39 starts and contributing nine goals and 20 assists across 3,275 minutes of action.
Analysis: Vicente was one of the standout performers in the second division this season, his combination of goal-scoring ability, creative output and set-piece responsibilities making him one of the most productive attacking players in the division. His 20 assists in particular underline his importance as a creator, consistently delivering the final ball that unlocked opposing defenses throughout the promotion campaign, with his set-piece delivery adding an additional weapon to Racing's attacking arsenal. His versatility to operate either on the wing or in the attacking midfield role behind the striker gives the coaching staff additional tactical flexibility heading into the La Liga season, and his output this season suggests he has the quality to make an impact at the highest level of Spanish football.
