Quarry boom in 2022

Real Madrid has not taken out a youth squad for many years who is firmly established in the first team, as Nacho or Carvajal did in their day. This course Miguel Gutiérrez and Antonio Blanco were called to be very important, but the first one was deflated with the passage of the matches and the second has been totally overshadowed by the arrival of Camavinga on the last day of the market. They continue to trust both of them and, furthermore, in those who begin to knock on the door of the first team from below. These are some of the most outstanding of the Castilla y Juvenil A.

Peter Federico (19 years old)

He made his debut in the League against Athletic, after having warmed up but without playing in the previous match against Cádiz. The losses of Asensio, Rodrygo and Bale due to the coronavirus opened a hole in the far right. He is a footballer with impudence, speed and overflow, one of those who are increasingly scarce in a very tactical football. His daring and verticality can conquer the Bernabéu, because he is one of those talents that leaves fantasy plays. In the first rounds of the Copa del Rey he should have minutes again.

Rafa Marín (19 years old)

It has been the great irruption this course in Castilla. He is a powerful central defender (1.91 meters), fast, with an elegant stride and good vision of the game. In a generation where there were very good center-backs, the Sevillian defender has stood out as the best bet for the future for Real Madrid. This was demonstrated by Ancelotti, who included him in the call-up for the match against Athletic after hearing the loss of Alaba. The logical thing is that next year he will be assigned to a First team so that he begins to gain experience in professional football or he may even have a place in the first team if Vallejo leaves, although any decision will be with an eye on him being part of Real Madrid’s first team in the medium term.

Bruno Iglesias (18 years old)

“He has things about that Kaka that amazed us,” Álvaro Benito said a long time ago in the SER about Bruno Iglesias. Few know the Real Madrid quarry as well as the former white player and few have such a keen eye for capturing young talent. Born in Salamanca in 2003, Bruno Iglesias marvels at Real Madrid’s Juvenil A and there are many authorized voices within the club that point to him as the next great pearl of the quarry. In 2022, either in the final stretch of the course or at the beginning of the next, it is normal for him to make his debut with the first team. In addition, in summer he has a European Under-19 with Spain that he can put on the showcase.

Julen Jon Guerrero (17 years old)

Julen Guerrero’s son burns stages at high speed. He is a fine, elegant midfielder, with a golden left foot and with a quality that is often lacking in the players of his profile: he has a lot of goals. That skill is increasingly demanded of talented midfielders, who in the past lived more aware of the last pass than of finishing the plays themselves. Due to his physique and his conditions, he is a player called to stand out in a great and Real Madrid wants to continue polishing a diamond that next year must be one of the fundamental pieces of Castilla to begin knocking on the door of the first team.
