Pedro Porro finds the prize for his self-criticism

Don Benito had the illusion and the recognition has arrived. Nobody wanted to express it out loud, but there was hope that Pedro Porro would be included by Luis Enrique in the list of the Absolute Selection. So it has been. The Extremaduran side has starred in exponential growth in recent months, settling the bad feelings with which he ended his assignment at Valladolid. Your pass still belongs to Manchester City. At the end of last year, Pedro Porro decided to accept the proposal from Sporting, a great Portuguese who wanted to forget the recent past to fight again with Porto and Benfica for everything,

Porro was rightly committed to the idea of ​​Rúben Amorim, with a drawing that suits him like a glove and an attacking style that exploits its quality, verticality and intensity. The full-back has matured his skills, on and off the pitch, he competes sharply in every game and is enjoying being immersed in the pressure to win. Of course, he himself acknowledges that he continues to strive to improve in the defensive phase. In the surveillance, the interpretation of the spaces and the tension in one against one. Often, he relies on his explosiveness to balance the remaining shortcomings of his extreme stage.

A few days ago he himself explained in Ace his hopes for this week's international citations. He had a thorn in the back of not having been able to play the last U21 Eurocup due to injury. Spain came out the champion and Porro, who was living a first-hatching stage, missed it. If the U21 call came, it was fine, but if it was Luis Enrique who remembered him, it was a dream come true. If something has also contributed to his stay in Portugal, it has been learning not to accommodate himself, to be aware of living in constant evolution and a growing state of demand. This season he has been recognized three times as the best defender of the month in Portugal and is of paramount importance in the journey of a leading Sporting that is heading towards the league title 19 years later. Those difficult moments, when, as a child in the Rayo quarry, he thought about returning to his hometown, they have received another compensation today.
