With the Nazaret project in process, the historic Buñol Sports City lives its last years. With Jose Luis Morales Y Roger Marti As the greatest exponents of recent years, the Granota youth academy continues to grow talent, despite the fact that with the professionalization of the club the leap to professionalism is increasingly limited.
Dani CardenasThe last youth squad to settle in the first team, he waited until he was 23, after seven years in the club's structure, to obtain the fruit of his work. Today he is the starting goalkeeper in the Cup, the undisputed protagonist of the historic semifinal and has debuted in LaLiga. Another example is Are, After trying his luck at Atlético Levante, he packed his bags to forge a future in football, Barakaldo and Ponferrada through, to return as a player made and as an element of the first team. The route does not matter, but the destination.
Since the arrival of Paco Lopez, a coach who led the subsidiary before taking office in the first team, ten players have made their debut in the First Division. However, of all of them, only Cárdenas remains on the team. The one from Terrasa won the game Koke Vegas, another youth squad, on loan to Mallorca in January, as second goalkeeper. Edgar sevikyan He was the last to experience his alternative in the elite at the hand of the Silla technician. Before they did Aly Abeid, Fran Manzanara, Pablo Martínez, Eliseo Falcón, Gonzalo Pereira, Giorgi Kochorashvili, Joan Monterde, Álex Blesa and Cárdenas himself.
The Russian winger, 19 years old, belonging to the 2001 generation, has been the Atlético Levante player who has counted the most for Paco López this season. The left-hander has been called up twelve times, seven games in a row, and has made his debut both in the League (eight minutes against Getafe) and in the Cup (32 minutes against Racing Murcia). One of Buñol's greatest talents. This course has also had its minutes Giorgi, which already debuted last season in the League, and who scored in his first cup minutes against Racing Murcia. The Georgian midfielder has many girlfriends in professional football and could make the leap next summer. Your contract ends in 2022.
However, in the structure of the club there are other names marked in red that are close to the first team, not only by capacity, but also by contract. Of the current Atlético Levante, which has not taken flight throughout the course, regardless of the figure of Luis Garcia Tevenet, and giving the witness to the youth coach, the Italian Alessio Lisci, highlights the figure of Alex Blesa (19 years old, generation of 2002). The Valencian midfielder debuted in First at 18 years old last year. With 19, currently, fulfilled in January, already accumulates more than 50 matches in Second B, in which It was released in full adolescence, at age 16 Y in the bronze category he is polishing his physique. The current jewel in the crown.
The great Spanish clubs and Juventus pushed hard for the international for the lower categories of the Spanish team, with which he was summoned by the U-17 to play the 2019 World Cup in Brazil. He had previously gone through the U-15 and U-17 16. Levante, given the strong interest of world-class quarries, shielded him until 2024. Next season, by contract, he has a first-team option. We will see.
Your case is not the only one. As happened last summer with Pablo Martínez (Mirandés), Arturo Molina (Castellón) or Cárdenas, There are several names that have signed their jump to professional football in their agreements with the club. Toni Herrero, Álex Cantero and Ferni also have that circumstance. Even the captain, Joan Monterde, which ends in 2021 and has an option to extend two years by mutual agreement with the entity. Something similar happened with Fran Manzara, current Numancia player.
Toni Herrero it's a left back (19 years, Generation of 2001) that stands out for its strength despite not reaching 1.80 in height. He can even function as a left-handed center-back, where perhaps his abilities fit more in elite football. International in the lower categories of the National Team, has participated in five matches with the U-20. He was also a regular in the U18 and U19. Ahead of his age, favored by his physique. Born in Buñol, he has a contract until 2025 and next year he also signed the leap to professional football.
Alex Cantero (20 years old, generation 2000) is another one of those future mortgaged contracts. The Madrilenian, who can act on the dot or in band, and who shares a representation agency with Morales, extended its link in 2019 until 2023 favored by its projection. But today it's a hot potato. He is not fixed in the subsidiary, where this season he has been more of a shock.
Ferni (22 years old, generation of 1998) is another example. The youth squad of Atlético de Madrid arrived in 2019 in exchange for a contract until 2024, which included the leap to professionalism. The attacking midfielder is important at Atlético Levante, but his destiny points to a loan or a change of scene.
Another name to keep in mind is Raul Alcaina (20 years, from the generation of 2000). The forward, on loan last year at Castellón, contract ends in June and despite the fact that this season is not curdling its best year, ten games and two goals, his name is on the list of the best quarries in the country.
The fiasco, without a doubt, has been Gustavo Carvajal (20 years, from the generation of 2000). The Colombian midfielder arrived with the vitola of the 'new Lerma' and after showing himself in the subsidiary, the club will not exercise the purchase option contemplated in its assignment agreement by América de Cali. Levante, yes, paid a previous amount for having it 'on trial' this course.
While from the juvenile they come stomping on names like Pablo Cuñat (18 years old, from 2002) or Alex Cerdá (18 years old, from 2003). Cuñat, Valencian goalkeeper who arrived this summer from the Barça youth team, points to the next goalkeeper of the subsidiary in the following years, with whom he has already made his debut. Cerdá, born in Alcoy, is also taking its first steps in the bronze category. These are some of the names of the future granota of the last generation of Buñol.
