Mojica comes from being a starter
Setién organizes his squad with the passing of the matches, a situation that the Valle del Cauca player has taken advantage of to establish himself in the starting lineup and add minutes with the Yellow Submarine. After his time at Elche, Mojica has earned the trust of the coaching staff and has become a regular for the Spanish strategist.
