"It's not always the one who scores the goal that decides a match," says Málaga CF's coach. And how true that is, especially when it comes to Gabilondo. Although he doesn't always shine on the scoreboard, his role on the pitch is vital to the team's success. Over the course of December, he has proven to be the glue that holds the team together with his quiet yet effective work.

With his ability to read the game and anticipate plays, Gabilondo has garnered praise from players and coaches alike. In the last match against Real Betis, his defensive contribution was nothing short of outstanding. The way he intercepted and distributed the ball facilitated Málaga CF's offensive transitions, leading to two crucial goals.

his work ethic in every game has earned him admiration from a fan base that considers him a pillar of the locker room. Currently, Gabilondo's name may not be the most mentioned on social media or in newspapers, but his influence within the team is undeniable.

In such a competitive league as La Liga, having a player like him is a treasure. Will Gabilondo find the recognition he deserves at the end of the season? Only time will tell, but for now, his commitment and performance are invaluable to Málaga CF's plans.
