"The midfield is where the game is won," J. Acevedo summarized in a recent interview. As the season progresses, his role as a midfielder for Instituto becomes more evident. Acevedo not only distributes the ball but also makes the first pass that starts every play, a critical aspect for his team.

The numbers back him up. In the last five matches, he has recorded an impressive 90% pass accuracy. His vision and technique allow forwards like Córdoba and Albarracín to make runs and find goal-scoring opportunities. Moreover, his ability to read the game enables him to anticipate rival plays, stealing crucial balls in the midfield.

The atmosphere in the locker room highlights Acevedo's importance. His teammates see him as a quiet leader, someone who never stops working. During the match against Godoy Cruz, his presence was felt, stealing balls and providing defensive support, which was key to maintaining the team's balance.

Fans also acknowledge his contribution. The streets of Córdoba resonate with positive comments about his performance and consistency. "He is the soul of our team," says a fan as he exits the stadium. With each match, J. Acevedo asserts himself as a pillar in the tactical scheme aimed at propelling Instituto to higher positions in the league.
