Ruben Castro, later than early

Today we tend to deify the kids who just left virtually puberty. Commends them to the point when they are still nothing to create something. There are players to which the pressure will come in handy. Is its particular walk in the clouds, where the quality, talent and the head is prefixed to the adulation of those around him daily. A case that always comes to mind whenever he leaves this issue is especially Argentina. There, where the earliness of the players is a fact because the South American country is a veritable mine of large-scale cracks, labeled the new jewel in office as the new Maradona, the new Batistuta or the new Messi's turn.

In our country, almost a decade, the Union Deportiva Las Palmas brings out a batch of talents, then, seemed likely to conquer the world. Jorge Larena, Jerónimo Figueroa, alias 'Momo', and Ruben Castro reached Table grancanario stardom when he played in the top flight. The new Valeron, then, was to fall. Ten years later, the wonderful future that some scholars saw the kids, has shown that, wonderful thing. Jorge went unnoticed for Atletico, which was his big chance to take off and now, on his return to Gran Canaria after walking also unnoticed by the Celtic struggle to do well in the Liga Adelante. Momo went to Deportivo, who traded him twice, held him in its ranks and finally transferred to Xerez. In second was the previous year one of the best in his post, which led him to sign for Real Betis club which currently shares a dressing room with the other protagonist in this post.

And Ruben Castro, at 29 years, and after being released by his great goal for Real Madrid in the 2001-2002 season, also has lived an odyssey of joint since he left the set of Gran Canaria. The striker was also bought by Deportivo, as Momo, and as a midfielder, not confidence enjoyed by the technical nor, obviously, of continuity. He was also on loan at Albacete, and Racing and Nastic a season. He proved it again in La Coruña, but was again on the silver category, first in the Huesca and then Rayo Vallecano, where he signed 14 goals the previous year, where he met with the promise so many ways noted. Its good performance, such as Momo, did not go unnoticed Betis forced to sign a talent for urgent return to First Division. And there, in Seville, were reunited again Momo and Rubén Castro.

Miguel Angel Lotina recognized Ruben Castro have in its ranks today would ease the odd headache. And no wonder. The striker was born in Gran Canaria as 'second course' in Andalusia at the forefront of a competition called Jorge Molina, as top scorer last term of the League ahead and started with an advantage. But an unforeseen injury Elche ex Rubén left alone in the attack, which took advantage of accountability with the goal. Since then it has become the pen of Betis, aimed at first thanks to its successful booster shots. Last weekend saved a draw (1-1) against Celta with a goal that serves to maintain the three-point cushion over second Lightning. Last night, against Zaragoza and Cup, signed the target, confirming the elimination of the hands and pass from Betis. A final shoe that was used to fell a whole, although in crisis, no longer in the top flight.

Ruben Castro possibly already has passed the rice to become the new 'something'. But I guess that should be worth so much suffering, so many fall into hell, where, later that soon, she caresses the sky as you once believed you did. Even in second. And even in Cup, has much merit its revival.
