He started the League as the fourth center in the plans of Javi
Grace, injuries have given him options to enter the eleven and now, after three consecutive starts, Hugo
Guillamón has established itself as a couple with Gabriel Paulista and it seems complicated that the possible return of Mouctar Diakhaby send him back to the bench. Eliaquim Mangala's has not done it anymore.
Guillamón's three appearances in the eleven have coincided with three games without losing, the first time this has happened during the season, and have also allowed personal growth not without errors. But you learn from them.
The young canterano was the protagonist of Sunday's match against Alavés. The initial goal of the Basque team filled Valencia and him with doubts. In fact, he committed a rude penalty on Ximo Navarro a few minutes later, which was the second goal for the Vitoria team.
The error put his nerves to the test but after a few minutes of anxiety in which he was able to facilitate the third goal, Guillamón regained his calm and the good output of the ball that characterizes him and grew until he scored the goal of the tie, his first scorer in First, and avoid, well planted and with hidden arms, that Alavés took the shock in the discount.
He has also established himself as the head of the U21 team
After several weeks away from the team, Diakhaby could be available against Atlético de Madrid or for the following day, although for now Guillamón has given Gracia arguments not to touch what is working.
Parallel to his consolidation in the eleven of Gracia, Guillamón has also established himself as the head of the U21 team in qualifying matches for the European Championship. Four games, four victories and no goals received for Luis de la Fuente's team.
In the Federation they know very well this center-back who was born in San Sebastián in 2000 (he just turned 20 years old) but who moved to Valencia when he was two years old and who has grown up in the Sports City of Paterna. He was a key player in the U-17 team that won the European of the category in 2017 and the U-19 in 2019 and continues to climb the steps.
