The Cádiz match yesterday against Valencia left a debut expected by the cadista fans: that of Pedro Benito. Yesterday, Alberto Benito's son fulfilled his dream of playing the first minutes with the first team at the Nuevo Mirandilla. The one who was the sports director of Cádiz in the previous climb from Cádiz to the First Division observed his son from the stands. Pedro Benito came out with great enthusiasm and motivation and won the ovation of a hobby that knows his love for the shield.
The young forward of only 21 years was born in Cádiz And as a child he was always seen close to the players of the yellow team because his father was the club's sports director and, of course, because of his love of football. This summer he already fulfilled a dream by signing for the Cadiz entity from the UCAM Murcia subsidiary with a view to continuing to train in his quarry, in Cádiz B, where at the moment he is standing out for his skills and beautiful goals in the RFEF Second Division. He was in the United States studying on a scholarship. But then he returned because he was clear that he wanted to succeed as a footballer and in Cádiz, the city where he was born during the period when his father was responsible for signings at the 'Submrino Amarillo'. Alberto Benito, currently, works for Betis.
However, Pedro Benito yesterday touched heaven when Álvaro Cervera gave him the opportunity to debut with the first team in the First Division. For half an hour he had the young promise to face Valencia and feel the warmth of his fans, the one that already when he came out to warm up he cheered. When Benito took to the field to replace none other than Álvaro Negredo the stands tumbled with him with applause and cheers. And it is that, surely, many of those fans were reflected in him. Benito had entered the squad after Álvaro Cervera decided to dispense with this part of the seven soccer players surprised in a Madrid nightclub after the match against Rayo Vallecano, which ended with a 3-1 defeat.
The time he was in the field showed his eagerness to demonstrate his quality and worth, which led him to make inaccuracies of those who feel the responsibility and desire that those minutes are not the only ones. And it is that when you leave your heart in something it shows, and that is what the forward did yesterday. Now it's time to continue working in the subsidiary under the orders of Alberto Cifuentes placeholder image so that Álvaro Cervera continues to count on him when he deems it appropriate.
After the game, Pedro Benito wanted to send a message to the Cadista fans and also leave a reflection on the special moment in his career and in his life. “Debuting in First is the dream of any child, but doing it with the team of your life and replacing one of your childhood idols is something that I will never be able to explain. Thank you all for accompanying me on this path and to Cadismo for all your love. I have always been and will always be one of you. We have fulfilled a dream but I don't want it to stop there. We will continue fighting for much more. For more magical nights, I love you Cádiz ”.
