Paco Esteban (2006) He is pointed out in Atlético de Madrid as a VERY important figure in the future of the club, despite the fact that no serious contacts have yet been made for his renewal (contract ends this season). The Juvenil B striker records the best data of his generation and he was the protagonist of an image that will be remembered for a long time in the Wanda Metropolitano.
It was the celebration of Arbeloa’s fifth goal against Real Madrid in Valdebebas. The striker took off his shirt, ran towards one of the corners and raised his right arm with an open hand, in reference to the historic result against the eternal rival.
An average of one goal per game
The spectacular ride and precise definition of the red and white jewel crowned a very complete match. The celebration taught the personality and hunger of Borja Resurrection’s ‘matador’, although the team that corresponded to Paco Esteban in this campaign was Cadet A.
Despite the fact that he faces rivals one or two years older than him, Esteban adds 11 goals in 11 games, none from penalties. His state of grace, moreover, has been transferred to Spain. With the U-16 he scored a brace against Switzerland in Benidorm in February (in September he already gave an assist).
His performances are causing the calls from foreign clubs, delighted with its performance. However, the youth squad wants to stay at Atleti, who are still not moving definitively to ‘tie him up’.
