The Atlético de Madri
d It has one of the most prolific quarries in the world. The mattress team, in recent years, has stood out for its successes in grassroots football and especially for having drawn a good number of players who have become professionals.
Not everyone can do it in the Athletic
from
Madrid. Many have made a living in other clubs in Spain, Europe and some … even from the very China. In this case, perhaps in a slightly more natural way because we are talking about the only player of this nationality who came to play a game with the rojiblanco first team.
We talk about Xin Xu, midfielder who was trained in the lower categories of the Atlético de Madrid and that in 2015 he came to play, hand in hand with Simeone, in a friendly before him Shanghai SIPG
, on the tour that the mattress box made for Asia.
The youth squad would not make his debut in an official match, but at least he was lucky enough to do so with the first team, something that the majority do not even achieve. The player, who is now 26 years old, was born in Sheng Yang, on April 19, 1994. He signed for the Atlético de Madrid in 2010 when he was only 16 years old from Tian Jim Tai Dto Chinese. During this time he was climbing steps in the Academy passing through the youth, Atlético de Madrid C and B, until he managed to train punctually with the first team, and even have a minute.
The player signed for him Guangzhou Evergrande
, in 2015, with which he has won almost everything that can be won in Asia. A few days ago the mattress squad starred in a curious anecdote as he was the great lucky man of the night in which his team defeated the Vissel
Kobe from Andrew
Iniesta. Not because he scored, in fact he did not play a single minute in the 0-2, but because of all the components of the Chinese team, he was the one who took the shirt of the idol, of Iniesta, that everyone was looking for after the game.
The mattress maker was helped by his knowledge of Spanish to be able to talk to him and ask for it, something that many colleagues could not do. Since signing for the Asian box, Xin
Xu he has achieved three leagues, and two Cups.
