Alvaro Arbeloa has firmly established his leadership at Castilla, and his recent comments highlight a rising star. Following a decisive 2-0 victory over Pontevedra, Arbeloa singled out midfielder Cestero for his outstanding performances since moving up from Juvenil A.
In a post-match interview with Marca, Arbeloa emphasized the impact of young talents like Manuel Angel and Palacios. However, he reserved special praise for Cestero, declaring, “For me, he is the best No. 6 in Spain right now.” Such an accolade is a testament to Cestero’s rapid ascent within the ranks of Real Madrid‘s academy.
Cestero’s Meteoric Rise
Just three months ago, Cestero was relatively unknown, overshadowed by academy peers such as Diego Aguado, Fortea, and Joan Martinez. Yet, under Arbeloa’s guidance, he has become a key figure in Castilla’s lineup. His transition from Juvenil A to a regular starter for Castilla has been seamless, showcasing his adaptability and skill on the pitch.
This rapid development has not gone unnoticed. Former Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso has already integrated Cestero into several first-team training sessions. Additionally, numerous clubs are reportedly monitoring his progress closely, recognizing the potential he brings to the midfield.
Valdebebas Buzzing with Excitement
Within the walls of Valdebebas, the sentiment is unanimous: Cestero is not just a promising talent but a potential game-changer. His ability to control the tempo and his vision on the field have drawn comparisons to some of La Fabrica’s finest graduates. The buzz around him is palpable, as he transitions from an under-the-radar prospect to one of the academy’s most talked-about players.
The question now is whether Cestero can maintain this trajectory and cement his place not just in Castilla, but eventually in the first team. With Arbeloa’s mentorship and his own evident talent, the future looks bright for this young midfielder.
