Real Madrid’s impossible fifth man of one club

The ‘one-club man’ is a dying breed on today’s football map.. And that’s what Nacho is a story of resistance this must be learned in football academies. Always disciplined, respectful of the team, opponents and teammates, always effective when the coaches call on him… and the only one from the white team who could boast of having defended a single shield in his entire career.. However, Nacho says goodbye at the top, but puts an end to the dream that would have placed him on the exclusive list (especially if it’s possible): won’t be the Fifth Beatle.

Captain of Real Madrid He first walked into a white dressing room in 2001 to play for Alevin B, 23 years and 26 titles later.goes to Arabia after leaving a legacy behind him that is difficult for any mortal to match. His deliberate decision will not erase one iota of what the Madrid centre-back has achieved in what will always be his home. Because Nacho is and always will be eternal. The triumph of perseverance and the loyalty that came with being on a team that signed top-tier defenders that relegated him to a secondary role that he never complained about. The second sword, which always fought with the belief that hard work always pays off. The greatest example for any young La Fabrica player..

A scenario that is difficult to control

Real Madrid are now without their fifth one-club man. Jose Maria Zarraga, Chendo, Sanchis and Jose Antonio Camacho These are the club’s white players, part of a select group whose numbers are unlikely to increase in the future. And what is this Market movements in modern football are removing a figure in serious danger of extinction..

The power of emerging market moneywho put on the table a golden digression that is hard to refuse, changed the paradigm in which there is an excess of learned obsessions… and in which it is increasingly difficult to find football players who defended only one club throughout their career. The most difficult thing is always to make the jump to the first team from the reserve team, and when this is achieved, the difficulty lies in remain fully functional for the rest of your life in the same home. The desire to try a different experience after winning everything, unfulfilled expectations or the tempting appeal of markets with more economic than sporting potential led to the impossible: find Real Madrid’s fifth “one-club man”. And if Nacho didn’t achieve it, who will?

In the entire history of the white club, only four “men of the same club” can be counted. Something that perfectly reflects the difficulty of not paying attention to the siren songs that sound in the new football model. AND is that over 700 players have passed through Real Madrid’s more than 120-year history.…and only four have achieved this. Because being a member of One Club is a big responsibility and a difficult task: spend your entire career at the club at a professional level (It does not take into account whether they came to Madrid as young people from an amateur or youth league.).
