Hugo Solozábal, the red and white connection at Leganés
Roberto Solozábal, a name that resonates in the hearts of Atlético de Madrid fans. This central defender, who played 296 games with the team, was captain during the golden age of 96, when the team won the double.
Now, his son Hugo, 21, plays for Leganés’ reserve team and has debuted with the first team. Hugo, also a mechanical engineering student, is a versatile midfielder who maintains his father’s red and white DNA.
Although his father is retired from football, he remains an example for his son and for all Atlético de Madrid fans. The young man is smart and his father, cautious. The current Atlético coincided with Pablo Barrios and although Hugo goes with Leganés, his heart is red and white like his beginnings in the Atlético youth academy.
