An unforgettable week ended for Javi Serrano, the Atlético midfielder that on Wednesday he made his debut with the rojibalnco team in an official match and did so in the Champions League. He played the last fifteen minutes against Liverpool, in a mythical setting like Anfield. But yesterday Sunday he returned to his reality, which dictates that he has to start carving out his future with the rojiblanco subsidiary, in the Third Division, the fifth category of Spanish football and inappropriate for a team like the rojiblanco. Javi Serrano, 18, went from playing at Anfield to playing against Paracuellos Antamira in a league match with Atlético’s second team.
Atlético B won against Paracuellos Antamira 2-0, a triumph that places the rojiblanco subsidiary in second position in their group, two points from Fuenlabrada. Little by little, the Tevenet team begins to rise to the top of the rankings. Javi Serrano was a starter in the league match, although he was changed at halftime, since he suffers from muscular discomfort and nobody wanted to risk the least. Those annoyances have given him war recently and the season is just beginning.
With a contract in force until June 2026, He is a player very liked by Simeone. And one of the footballers with the most future of the rojiblancas lower categories. At Anfield he showed self-confidence and did not wrinkle at any time. Against Paracuellos he was the first player his team looked for to get the ball out. It was not a brilliant game for him or for his team, but Atlético B got all three points at stake. Summoned by the Spanish Under-19 team, he has been a regular in the inferiors of Spain, Javi Serrano is a basic piece of the subsidiary. During the preseason it was already common to see him under the command of Cholo and next to Giuliano, the one who left the best sensations.
Atlético is having a hard time having players from the quarry in their first team. Thomas and Saúl left and Koke continues as the great reference of the Academy. An example for everyone, also for Javi Serrano, He was trained at home and has been at Atlético since he was seven years old. Cholo has a lot to choose from in Atlético’s midfield, but on the horizon is Javi Serrano, congratulated by all his teammates after his debut at Anfield, but who still has many battles to play.
