The winner of the eighth edition of the Hospiten MVP Trophy already has a name. It is Juan Soriano, who has been, in the opinion of the fans of Club Deportivo Tenerife, the most regular player in this season 2023/24.
The team's own followers, through weekly votes after each matchday of the Hypermotion League on the Deporpress.com portal, have chosen the player from Seville as the most regular in his performances, thus succeeding Iván Romero, last season's winner.
Juan Soriano's is the third season on the island, where he arrived from Málaga in the 21/22 season, and has achieved an achievement within the reach of very few. The goalkeeper has been a starter in no less than 126 of the 129 league games played by the team since he joined the club, missing two of them due to suspension. In addition, Soriano has chained no less than 83 consecutive starts, something that in the centenary history of CD Tenerife has only been surpassed by Alberto Molina (91) and Nino (89).
In this 2023/24 campaign, Soriano scored 29 points in the total number of votes, ahead of Ángel (27) and Luismi Cruz (25). It is worth remembering that every day the fans vote for their favorites, awarding 3,2 and 1 point to the first three classified; and he has played as a starter in the 39 League matches he has played, being the player with the most minutes played (3,510 minutes), in which he has conceded 38 goals.
Soriano succeeds Iván Romero (22/23), Alexandre Corredera (21/22), Samuel Shashoua (20/21), Luis Milla (18/19 and 19/20), Dani Hernández (17/18) and Amath N'Diaye (16/17) as Hospiten MVP. The goalkeeper was very grateful to the island's fans for a distinction "that I didn't expect, as there have been other teammates who have also had a great season".
As a culmination to his three-year career in the club, for Soriano "the fact that the fans voted for me is a source of pride. They have supported us unconditionally throughout the season and I thank them for voting for me".
The vice-president and CEO of Hospiten, Pedro Luis Cobiella Beauvais, was in charge of presenting the trophy to Juan Soriano on the Heliodoro Rodríguez López pitch. "It is an honor for us to present the Hospiten MVP Trophy for the 2023/24 season to Juan Soriano. This trophy, decided by the fans through their votes in Deporpress, reflects the constancy, regularity and dedication that Juan has shown throughout the season," he said when presenting the award to the Blue and Whites' goalkeeper.
Cobiella Beauvais expressed his pride in "seeing how Soriano has stood out not only for his technical skills, but also for his leadership capacity on the pitch", highlighting the number of starts he has made since he joined the club.
In this sense, he emphasized that the dedication and effort of the player "are a perfect example of the values we promote at Hospiten. Always looking for ways to respond to challenges, respect and work together with the rest of his team, acting with courage and overcoming are values that represent us and help us to build an ecosystem of wellbeing around people".
Finally, the executive stressed that Hospiten "shares with Club Deportivo Tenerife the commitment to promote a healthy and active life through the promotion of sports".
For the general manager of Club Deportivo Tenerife, Santiago Pozas, "it is a guarantee for the players and for us as a club, to have a relationship and professional development with Hospiten, an internationally recognized entity; it gives us a lot of peace of mind". Pozas pointed out that the services offered by Hospiten to Tenerife "are the best, with the best facilities and state-of-the-art equipment and technology, with which we can have a much faster and more precise diagnosis when any player is injured".
