Ana Franco and the illusion for the goal

“I like it, every year I go up positions arriving at Sevilla being a midfielder”Ana Franco (Cáceres, 06/06/1999) tells the official media of the Seville club. The Extremaduran soccer player, always versatile, has left the center of the field to take a step forward and occupy the attack line in Cristian Toro's team. The bet could not have turned out better: it is the second highest achiever of hers with six goals in the Primera Iberdrola, only behind Claudia Pina (seven).

“I didn't think I was going to score six goals, but I would like to score the next one and for the number to keep increasing “, explains the 21-year-old player. And it is that the Extremaduran always used to perform in the center of the field and this is being her highest scoring campaign.

She likes change: “I like being close to the area and being able to move freely from one side to the other. You have more freedom.You don't have to be tactically well placed and you can improvise a bit more … “.

Her good work led her to be called up by the U-20 National Team in November, something incredible for Ana Franco. “When they told me, I didn't believe it. In the end, it's the dream of any player”, states about it.

Both the Extremaduran forward and Sevilla in general have had an excellent season that has led them to qualify for the Queen's Cup 2021, competition in which they will face the Barcelona in the quarterfinals: “It is a reward for the work done in the first round. We saw the rival, but always we are going to go with enthusiasm and if we pass, it will be an even bigger prize “. He has to keep beating to get it.
