562 Recommendation (1/2)

Castello was a key midfielder on the Real Madrid U15 team. He had been on the Real Madrid youth training system ever since he was young. Step by step, he eliminated his opponents one by one. He had already earned a place on Real Madrid by the time he joined the Real Madrid youth training camp. They already knew that he was strong enough to play for the team.

Castello was also a member of the Spanish National Youth Football Team, so he had a bright future ahead of him. It was only a matter of time before Castello joined the Real Madrid team.

Now, was with the Real Madrid U15 team in Villarreal, a city in the province of Castello within the Valencian Community in Spain. The U15 team of Real Madrid was about to play a match against the Barcelona U15 team.

Coincidentally, the Real Madrid and Barcelona teams were both staying in the same hotel.

The players of both teams knew each other. They were all the cream of the crop in their age group. Many of them had competed with each other since they were seven or eight years old. Many of them had been rivals for years.

At the same time, many of them were members of the Spanish national team, so they also used to be teammates that fought for the honor of Spain.

Castello met a former teammate in the hotel corridor. He was currently his opponent.

”Francisco! Long time no see!” Castello greeted him with a smile.

Francisco was a young player trained by Barcelona, but he had been on the Spanish National Youth Football Team. He was teammates with Castello and was also a midfielder. Francisco and Castello's technical characteristics complemented each other. One of them was partial to being very organized and the other was partial to defense. So when they were on the Spanish National Youth Football Team, the two of them became the twin-spears of the Spanish midfield. They had good chemistry and cooperated with each other.

Although Francisco and Castello currently served different masters, the friendship between the two remained.

”Francisco, we meet again. I feel a bit embarrassed about always beating you guys,” Castello said snarkily.

At the U15 level, Real Madrid was indeed better so, as Castello said, Real Madrid did always beat Barcelona.

Francisco knew that Castello was not being malicious and that he was just teasing. He did not get angry, but instead said, ”Castello, you guys used to win, but we will beat you this year!”

”Get out of here! You're dreaming!” Castello said with a smile. The two of them were familiar with each other, so they spoke casually.

Francisco shook his head, ”What I said is true. I am not lying to you. We have an excellent newcomer this year. To be honest, I have never seen someone so good before!”

”Is that so? Where is he?” Castello asked.

”I will take you to see him.” Francisco took Castello to the hotel's pool. Then Francisco pointed to Halls who was next to the pool and said, ”Look. That is him!”

”That thin, small guy?” Castello looked at Halls. Halls was sitting alone by the pool at that time. He soaked his feet in the water and he was playing by himself.

”This kid is very good? Why haven't I seen him before?” Asked Castello.

”He is Argentinian. He just came to Spain,” Francisco replied.

Castello curled his lips with disdain. He always believed that Francisco liked to brag, so he didn't really believe him.

Francisco is definitely deliberately trying to confuse me! I don't believe him! Castello thought.
