Torres and his winning machine

Atlético Juvenil de Honor continues to launch for the League title. The rojiblanco team beat Rayo last Wednesday with a resounding 0-3 that increases the advantage at the top of the table thanks to the goals of Marcos Denia, Salim El Jebari, thus celebrating its renewal until 2025, and Pablo Barrios.

Three of the players from the fantastic Atlético litter, with a huge future ahead of them, where Salim and Barrios are leaving a brilliant season endorsed in the Youth League. If Betis ended the dream of the treble in the Cup, a match where Atlético could not count on Iturbe, David Navarro and Barrios himself Due to being called up with the U-19 National Team, the health of the team is very good. The team led by Fernando Torres and Ricardo Ortega has become a winning and scoring machine and that mole against the verdiblancos does not tarnish his season.

On April 22, the most important match in the history of an Atlético youth awaits, since never before had the final four of the Youth League been reached. Salzburg awaits in Nyon in the semifinals in a dream from which the rojiblancos do not want to wake up. And the data with Torres in command speak for themselves. According to statistics collected by Football Talent Scout, the total balance with El Niño is 36 games played, 29 wins, three draws and four losses, with 75 goals scored (2.08 per game) and 19 conceded (0.52). Glorious afternoons, such as the two victories in Valdebebas in the derbies against Real Madrid in the League and Youth League or the epic win at Signal Iduna Park against Borussia Dortmund in the European competition they make clear the wood of the athletic youngsters.

A European eleven that practically repeats itself by heart: Iturbe, Ibra, Kostis, David Navarro, Sergio Diez, Corral, Gismera, Barrios, Currás, Salim and Carlos Martín and a team that is sweeping the category (Carlos Martín, debutant in the First Division, participates in the league with Atleti B). With several regulars in Simeone’s training sessions and even in the callsTorres’s team has an offensive style, touch and finish, but they also know how to adapt perfectly to playing back and going on the counterattack. Atlético and Torres, a combination destined to go well.
