Juanfran and pressure Calderon

It was hard to get when it seemed that resolve it before, but finally arrived. Juanfran already Atletico Madrid yesterday after being presented at the Vicente Calderon Atletico pay more than four million to Osasuna, a club where he has shown great performance during the last four seasons, especially after the arrival of the dock pinko Camacho. Juanfran Will submit to the pressure posed by Atletico Madrid and come out victorious?

Far right and right, which is rare in football today where that of the "switched leg" is the daily bread, with a performance that left-handed one in the band, fast, dribbling, technique, and little central goal , grew up in the factory Juanfran Madrid is one of the most promising players in his day in the white quarry.

In between the generation of Pavones, where the same Pavon, Borja, Raul Bravo and Portillo did not achieve success in the Bernabeu, and the Barn, Mata and Javi Garcia, the Atletico end belonged to the generation of De la Red Borja Valero or Soldier. However, the quality of Juanfran screamed out of the subsidiary and try new adventures to the complexity of playing in the first team while most of his colleagues remained in the Castilla. Thus came the transfer to Espanyol, where he failed to shine but where he accumulated over minutes in the top flight.

No room in the first team he joined Osasuna where he made his name in the first division to become one of the leaders of the Reyno de Navarra. Now, at age 26 just turned it comes the opportunity to play in a team with higher aspirations. At first look good being a coach Quique like to use bands, orphaned after the departure of Simao in winter and summer Jury Reyes as the only visitor to the sidelines of midfield and up. The rest is covered by the quality of Juanfran, who has it, and its ability to adapt to the demands of the script for a club like Atletico Madrid.

The latter is the most difficult task, because mediocrity aside, there are many players who have fallen struck by the pressure of playing at a club like Atletico. I've always given the impression, with logical exceptions for better and for worse, that only players who could succeed anywhere succeed at Atletico Madrid, a club environment which requires a large resource they can not compete with the larger ones. In any case I am optimistic about what can bring to the team Juanfran rojiblanco.

His first game, or at least its first inclusion in a list, will be today against the team he grew up in the derby to face Real Madrid and Atletico in Copa del Rey. One that comes and another one gone, as the central Juanito has terminated its contract with the club after not having to Quique and is free to find new destination. Players who come through those exits.
