Hugo Bueno, the Galician who dazzled in Wolverhampton

Hugo Great (20) is a Galician soccer player, player of wolverhampton for three years and trained at Areosaa club from Vigo.

His life changed radically in 2019, when for him living from football was more of a utopia than a reality. Despite the talent he always had, he played for Areosa, a humble team from Vigo. His qualities did not go unnoticed Celtic Y game, the two clubs that sign the most players that stand out in Galicia. A clear example that in football nothing is written.

The ‘wanderers’ scouts saw something special in his football and did not hesitate to give him the opportunity to try out for the English team. He spent a week training with the U18 team and returned to Spain. Less than seven days later they called him again to do another test and that’s when they told him he was staying. Hugo couldn’t believe it has signed for a team of premier league. The dream of making a living from football resurfaced within him. Despite his youth at the time (16 years old) he did not hesitate to pack his bags and go to pursue his dream. A clear display of the boy’s personality and character.

During these three years he was developing as a player and as a person. He learned English, gained muscle mass and continued to carry humility as a banner. Without fear of anything, but with respect for all. In formative football he always plays as an attacker, as a winger or midfielder. Hence his control of the ball, his ability to overcome rivals and mix with his teammates. However, the technicians saw good qualities in him to be differential as a winger or lane, thanks to the fact that another of its great virtues is physical deployment. Since then, he has been in that position.

In English lands he went through the team sub18, sub21 and sub23, where he has minutes this season. However, this year he has already done the preseason with the first team, a clear sign of his football growth. In recent weeks he entered various calls and last Sunday his prize arrived: debut at Premier, in Molineux Stadium against him Nottingham Forest (1-0). Although it was a change to lose time, it was enough to see that Hugo came to take advantage of every second. His attitude was surprised for good.

Those minutes were a reward, but the real test came Wednesday Selhurst Parkthe stadium of Crystal palace. His first possession. In the home of one of the best places in the category and have to face attackers like Zahawhich is repeatedly looking for tickles.

With the number 64 on his back, he showed that the stage and the rival did not care about him. Bueno stands out for his soccer qualities and for the confidence he has in his possibilities. He showed enthusiasm, desire, personality and offensive vocation. In one of his additions to the attack he helped his team’s goal, in what was a Spanish flavored target. Hugo passes and is shot by Adama Traoréone of his best friends in the locker room.

Despite the team’s defeat (2-1), the coach praised the young player: ”he has not failed, we trust him. He is a boy with character and personality. He’s ready and he’s proven it, Steve Davis said.. Its role is expected to increase.

Hugo Bueno’s dream is just beginning and he still wants a left-back: “I’m happy to make my Premier debut, but I’m not satisfied yet. I want more. And for that you have to work hard.

One of the secrets for his great performance as a winger is to face the best every day: ‘‘Many players have affected me. For example, the strength and speed that Adama has. Because I’m a left back and he’s a winger, we often measure each other in training”.

The hardest part of playing away from home was being separated from Guille, his twin brother, who now plays for Dortmund and is also a left-back.

“It was a complicated situation, but everything happened very quickly. I came here, I changed my lifestyle a lot and he kept doing the same routine. Now Guille has gone to Germany and we are further apart. We agree less. I’m more of a winger or attacker, but here you play in a formation of five and my position doesn’t exist as such. They tested me as a lane and I adapted quickly. When I started, I asked my older brother for advice because he was more used to playing there.”

The season of “Good” is here. Although they are not professional motorcyclists, they start their particular ‘motorcycle’ on the left side of stadiums in England and Germany.
