GONZALO DI RENZO WINS FANS PLAYER OF THE SEASON 2022/23

/in /by

Prior to last Sundays final home league match season ticket holders and members had the opportunity to choose their favourite three players for this season awarding three points for the first, two for the second and one point for the third.

Argentine Gonzalo Di Renzo is UD Lanzarote´s Player of the Season 2022/23 as voted for by the fans. The 27 year old striker has scored 18 goals (no penalties) and counting this season and leads the Pichici (Leagues Top Scorer) by four goals.

Di Renzo defends from the front, works tirelessly until the final whistle, holds the ball up so well and has countless assists. On top of that he effortlessly does the hardest thing in football, putting the ball into the back of the net. I am sure that on behalf of all Rojillo fans we send our congratulations to Gonzalo.

On Sunday 7th May at our home match prior to kick off on the second leg of the playoff Gonzalo Di Renzo will be presented with the trophy in front of the Rojillo fans.

UD Lanzarote´s second most voted player was the midfield wizard Fabricio. The 25 year old Brazilian has amazed fans with his skill and technical ability. He is up there with some of the classiest players to ever wear the UD Lanzarote shirt.

Fabricio second.

Centre back and club vice captain Raúl takes third place. His commitment is unquestionable and he always puts in a top class performance. The 28 year old has adjusted superbly to the change in centre back partnership this season and it was his goal to level against CD Mensajero that began this great run of seven wins and three draws in the last 10 matches.

Raúl in third.

Fourth is Lanzarote´s living legend and club captain Ayoze Pérez. Any Rojillo fan will know the importance of Ayoze. His determination and commitment to the club holds no bounds. A few years ago when Rosmen returned to the club he thought nothing of returning the captains armband to his former captain. At 36 years of age Ayoze maybe in his twilight years but there is absolutely no doubt that this man still bosses the game and has many years left in his tank.

Club captain and previous winner Ayoze Pérez is fourth.

Lanzarote has four captains and they have all lead by example Ayoze, Raúl, Alejandro and Ruyman. It is the latter Ruyman that takes fifth place. The Rojillo fans recognize the leadership and this is why all of those captains including his close friend and fellow Rojillo keeper Alejandro only trailed him by a single point. How fortunate Lanzarote´s young players have these four captains as their role models.

Ruyman is fifth.

This is the top five most voted players for UD Lanzarote this season:

  1. Gonzalo Di Renzo (234 points)
  2. Fabricio Assis (180)
  3. Raúl Fernández (87)
  4. Ayoze Pérez (58)
  5. Ruyman (31)

Congratulations to every single one of Lanzarote´s players. It has been the squad that has got us into the playoffs and let’s hope that the season doesn’t end until June.
