Manuel Ángel: "El vestuario está un poco tocado porque la situación es incómoda, pero creo que sacaremos esto adelante" Manuel Ángel, jugador del Sevilla Atlético, habló en una entrevista en el programa 'La Cantera' de Sevilla FC+ sobre su situación en el club y su progreso como futbolista. Aunque aún está en edad juvenil, destacó que está pasando por su mejor momento en su carrera: "Estoy contento y feliz, quizás es el mejor momento de mi vida en lo futbolístico, gracias al trabajo, sacrificio y constancia. Estoy con los pies en el suelo, solo pensando en el fútbol. Llegué aquí hace seis años, vine a hacer las pruebas y hasta el día de hoy. También con 14 años me vine a la residencia, fue una decisión difícil, pero ahora estoy cumpliendo un sueño". El jugador analizó su adaptación al equipo franjirrojo, mencionando que "estamos todos muy enchufados y vamos a pelear por conseguirlo. El vestuario está un poco tocado porque la situación es incómoda, pero creo que sacaremos esto adelante porque nunca nos rendimos. Marco es un entrenador muy cercano y está siempre encima nuestra. Yo iba a hacer pretemporada con el Sevilla Atlético y pese a la lesión, volví con el Sevilla FC 'C' y ya luego con continuidad en el primer filial". Sobre sus características, Ángel destacó su velocidad, fuerza y resistencia, explicando que "soy zurdo, ahora en el lateral me han enseñado bien a defender, priorizando la defensa antes que el ataque, aunque me sumo también mucho arriba. Tengo muchas ganas de seguir creciendo para poder luchar y llegar al primer equipo. Antes no defendía, ahora lo priorizo más y me encuentro muy cómodo. El físico me permite incorporarme a la zona de ataque".#sevilla_fc #manuel_angel #sevilla_atletico #la_cantera #osito
Manuel Ángel’s Champions League debut against Manchester City marked a pivotal moment in his career, with the emotional embrace following the match symbolizing both personal triumph and the culmination of years of effort. The gesture, captured by fans and analysts alike, underscored the significance of the milestone for the young player, who has long been regarded as a future star within Real Madrid’s ranks.

Under Arbeloa’s guidance in the Juvenil A and Castilla teams, the player has steadily refined his skills, transitioning from a promising talent to a contender for elite competition. The club’s decision reflects their belief in his potential to contribute to long-term ambitions, though the January transfer window introduces urgency to secure his future and avoid potential rival bids. Ángel’s journey has not been without challenges. Former teammate Marc Cucalón, who shared a close bond with him, highlighted how injuries briefly disrupted his progress but never diminished his status as the standout talent in their group. Cucalón emphasized Ángel’s natural ability and relentless work ethic, noting that his performances often seemed to operate at double speed. Even at 1.70 meters, Arbeloa sees no limitation in the player’s physicality, praising his heart and aggressive playing style that have consistently impressed coaches and peers. Beyond his athletic prowess, those close to Ángel describe him as a deeply family-oriented individual with strong values.#real_madrid #alvaro_arbeloa #bernabeu #manuel_angel #marc_cucalon
