Real Madrid has a gem in its quarry. The under-13 team in Maspalomas has in its ranks one of the forwards that all youth teams want to have. This is Manuel Francisco Duarte Moreno, born on 04/25/2012 in Almería.
Growing up in a football-loving family where his uncle played for Espanyol and Alavés, now for the Mexican Pumas, he had all the conditions to be important in the future.
He has similarities in the game with Karim Benzema. He plays well from the back, he makes first contact, he is a false reference for his defenders, who do not know how to read his intentions. A technical quality that complements the most important thing for a center forward, the goal. Just like Cristiano Ronaldo in his day, he moves around like a fish in water.
He has a nose for anticipating what will happen and is always in the right place to score. He has three goals in four games, many of them similar to the one he scored against Juventus, as a goalkeeper in the area. To always be attentive to the rebound to score.
These goals are sometimes called luck, but in reality it is the nose that a good striker has.
