The Perea saga continues to make history at Atlético de Madrid. Luis Amaranto Perea hung up his boots in 2014, after spending the last two seasons of his career at the Mexican Cruz Azul. Before, the Colombian central defender had left his mark on the rojiblanco club becoming the foreigner with the most matches in club history (314) after becoming a key piece of defense between 2004 and 2012, lifting two Europa League and one European Super Cup (figure that later would surpass Godín, with 389 and Filipe, with 333).
However, the now Junior coach of Barranquilla Colombian, can proudly see how his saga expands at Atlético. And is that his son, Juan Perea, had his official debut with Atleti B last weekend against Atlético Baleares. A very vertical winger, with a great one on one and with a lot of future ahead, since he recently reached the age of majority, he replaced the injured Nando in the first half.
Juan Perea signed his professional contract with Atlético at the beginning of the season. Colchonero since he was a child, when he began to wear the red-and-white elastic with his father playing in the first team, Perea is part of a Juvenil A where he has generated a great attack couple with Giuliano Simeone, the son of Cholo. The two born in 2002Although the Argentine has not yet reached the age of majority (he will do so in December), they are two of the great values of the Atlético youth academy, who know that the mattress spirit has been inherited almost from the cradle.
