DECRYPTION – Real Madrid has a golden generation. Juvenil A has been a real steamroller since the start of the season. And the credit goes to his coach, Alvaro Arbeloa. Focus on the strengths of its workforce.
Real Madrid has its golden generation and Álvaro Arbeloa is leading it. The U19s (2006-2007), also known as Juvenil A, are almost intractable this season. Thanks to the classic 4-3-3 used by the ex-Madrid player, his boys’ record is impressive: seven victories and a small defeat (against LOSC in the Youth League). This magnificent beginning is joined by great efficiency. 25 goals scored in eight matches, an average of 3.12 goals scored per game. And the defense also deserves its honors. The Merengue cage saw its nets shake four times. In the league, for the moment, it’s six out of six. With 18 points, Arbeloa’s protégés are leaders, two steps ahead of Atlético de Madrid. Back to strong names.
Jesus Fortea, the new Carvajal?
Jesús Fortea is one of the big attractions of this Juvenil A. The right back began his classes in the Levante training center before joining Atlético de Madrid in 2019. In 2022, Real Madrid breaks its “non-aggression agreement” with the Colchoneros and secures the services of the defender. Since his arrival in Valdebebas, the native of Albal has been seen as one of the great promises. Last year, as a sign of confidence, the madridistas renewed their nugget until June 2026.
Jesús has a great offensive contribution. This season, the 17-year-old Spanish international hopeful has one goal, one assist and he has even obtained three penalties. However, his defensive tasks still need polishing. With Carvajal’s injury, Fortea could be one of the names chosen to fill the absence of the European champion in the right lane of defense. But that will wait, at least, for now. The young Madrid player remains behind Lorenzo Aguado and David Jiménez in the hierarchy. The first completed the pre-season with the first team and the second had his first call-up against Alavés, to cover precisely the absence of Carva. Also note that Jesús Fortea is currently suffering from a muscle injury, contracted against LOSC. Nothing serious, because he will return during the month of October according to our information.
A dazzling attack
Of the 25 goals scored this season, many have been scored by Álvaro Arbeloa’s dazzling attacking trident, the “ABY”. Aimar Santiago, Jaime Barroso and Daniel Yáñez. Between them, they have 15 achievements. Daniel is the one with the least: two small goals, but both scored in the Youth League (the only ones scored by Juvenil A in the competition). In addition, with the manner. With a sublime left foot, Yáñez first scored a sublime curling shot against Stuttgart at the entrance to the penalty area. Against LOSC, a copy almost similar to its previous one. Except that this time, the right winger’s smooth shot found its way into the small net of the Mastiffs’ cage.
Aimar Santiago had a blistering start to the season. First league match against Alcorcón, hat-trick. Author of five goals during this financial year, Aimar also suffered from an injury against LOSC, just like Fortea. In a trivial action, the left winger was knocked out by an elbow from an opponent. Result of the races: arch opened and direction the hospital. Absent against Leganés last weekend, his presence against Rayo Vallecano (Sunday October 13 at 5 p.m.) still remains uncertain.
The last member of the “ABY” is neither more nor less than the team’s youngest but also its top scorer. Jaime Barroso, who has just celebrated his 17th birthday, has scored seven goals with the white tunic in 544 minutes of play. That is, one conclusion every 77 minutes. An authentic killer. Impeccable in the last gesture, Jaime’s composure impresses. Of the eight matches played, Barroso scored in five of them, including two doubles. Talent to follow with attention.
