“The reality surpasses fiction on rare occasions “, we are all clear on this statement. However, what we also know is that when football is involved, the boundaries between reality and movie stories are blurred. That it is what has happened with the new Fuenlabrada striker Tahiru Awudu, one of the many young footballers from Africa who they travel to europe looking for an opportunity in professional soccer.
Tahiru (Accra, Ghana, 2000) gave his first touches to the ball in the Medeama SC, a Ghanaian first division team located in the mining town of Tarkwa. It was a short-lived step, although he scored a goal in the thirteen games he played with the first team, and quickly gave the jump to Spanish football. The Alcobendas, Madrid club of Third Division, It was his destiny and where a great season took place. However, the best for the very young footballer would be yet to come …
Four days ago, Tahiru did not have a professional record and dreaming of a contract in LaLiga was at least a utopia. However, football is there to break the barrier between reality and fiction, as has already been said before. Therefore, on Saturday Tahiru Awudu signed her first professional contract. with Fuenlabrada and, a day later, debuted with a goal in kirika victory.
How did a 20-year-old Ghanaian man find a place in the Fuenlabrada squad? 'Falling in love' to the technician Sandoval and the sports management of Fuenlabrada in the week that Tahiru, along with more than footballers, they were tested at the orders of the Madrilenian. Already in the first friendly (against Rayo Vallecano) it was seen that the Ghanaian and his qualities they could land on their feet in Sandoval's team. Strong, fast to space and, above all, hard-working. He duel against Getafe, where he started, confirmed that his football was not a matter of a lucky day that ended up deciding the balance in your favor.
It is not the first time that Fuenlabrada bet on a unknown player Madrid football. Already did with Nteka, when this was a player of the Betis San Isidro, and the bet has been a winner to all views. In addition, Tahiru's good connection with the Parisian makes people think more optimistic that his case could be repeated with the recent incorporation of Fuenlabrada.
