Derby in the Academy: Atlético Tests Lezcano's Wall
Real Madrid’s Juvenil A prepares for an exciting derby against Atlético de Madrid, a crucial match for the league leadership. All eyes will be on Álvaro Lezcano, a young centre-back who has become a key player for Arbeloa since his debut in January.
His rapid rise and solid performance have established him as a ‘wall’ in the white defense. Lezcano, despite originally being a midfielder, has adapted perfectly to the defense, standing out for his speed, mentality, and professionalism.
His father highlights his teamwork and resilience, qualities that have led him to overcome obstacles and earn a place in Valdebebas. Before arriving at Real Madrid, Lezcano had the opportunity to try out at Atlético, but did not pass the tests.
Now, as a pillar of the Madrid defense, he faces Atlético in a match that promises to be explosive. The match is not only a mini-derby, but also an opportunity for Lezcano to prove his worth against a rival that once closed its doors to him. Real Madrid’s academy relies on its young talent to maintain the lead and get closer to the league title.
