Unforgettable match for one of the players of the
Atlético de Madrid
. For one of the debutantes. We talk about Ricard Sanchez, who slipped in a somewhat surprising way into the starting eleven of Diego
Simeone. Or maybe not so much because even though it was on the list Sime
Vrsaljko, The truth is that the Croatian returned from many months standing so that there, Cholo wanted to give the youth squad the opportunity.
And boy did he take advantage of it. The man from Tarragona opened up with a great game, very serious both in defense and attack, which he also crowned with a great goal from the flag.

There are few more special debuts than this one, because in his case he is a right-back, so it could be understood that he would not have so many options to score.
But that is perhaps the wrong impression because the Spanish international in lower categories has a great ability to score. In fact, in some of the past campaigns he began as one of the top scorers in the Athletic B.
It is about a player who Simeone he knows very well, he has trained many times with the first team and had completed 'stages' and friendly matches.

In fact, it was key in 16/17, in the Juvenile who trained Manolo Cano and that he conquered a triplet –League, King's Cup and Champions Cup-. At Athletic So much hope is placed on him that his contract was extended last summer, until 2022.
His arrival at Athletic It was somewhat bumpy because he signed in the sanction campaign FIFA and he spent half a year on loan at Toledo Youth. Before that, he hardened into his city team, the Sant Jaume dels Domenys, before moving on to Nastic and then to the quarry of FC Barcelona, where he shared a team with Riqui Puig, Miranda or Abel Ruiz, among others.
