Real Madrid’s Diego Aguado Set for Debut in Copa Del Rey

Diego Aguado, a 17-year-old prodigy from Real Madrid‘s youth academy, is set to make his debut for the Spanish and European champions in the upcoming Copa Del Rey clash against Deportiva Minera. The young defender’s inclusion highlights the management’s confidence in his abilities, as reported by Jorge C Picon.

Aguado has been a standout performer at the youth level, known for his speed, power, and exceptional left foot. His impressive performances during training sessions with the first team have caught the attention of head coach Carlo Ancelotti and his staff, who see him as a potential solution to the team’s defensive shortages.

Despite the high regard in which Aguado is held, Real Madrid is taking a cautious approach to his integration into the first team. This aligns with the club’s recent strategy of gradually introducing homegrown talents rather than rushing them into regular first-team action. The club has a history of nurturing young players, and Aguado’s development will be closely monitored.

Real Madrid already boasts another promising defender from their youth academy, Raul Asencio, who is also vying for a spot in the first team. The competition between Aguado and Asencio is expected to be intense, as both players look to establish themselves in the Real Madrid setup.

As Aguado prepares for his debut, all eyes will be on the young defender to see if he can live up to the high expectations set by the club and its fans. His performance in the Copa Del Rey could be a stepping stone to a more prominent role in the team.
