Isco is a Youth Product of Valencia. He came to Valencia from Malaga at the age of 14. Back in 2009, at the age of 17, he had played for the Valencia first team's pre-season warm-up match and was very good. Attracted real Madrid and Arsenal interested him, but Isco continued to stay with Valencia. In 2010, he shined again in the preseason warm-up, with head coach Emery publicly praising his performance in a press conference after the third warm-up game and hand-picking him as the new David Silva. Malaga – rapid rise to fame:
The talented midfielder helped Malaga to finish fourth in La Liga history in the 2011/12 season, not only achieving the best record in the club's history, but also making his debut in Europa League, where Malaga was at the top of the la Liga rankings in 2012/13, and Europa was an early round of qualifying for the group, and finally Malaga reached the europa league quarterfinals. Isco is instrumental.
He led Malaga through one of the most successful seasons in history, scoring five goals with 35 assists in his first season. In his second season, he played 47 games and scored 12 goals (9 in La Liga and 3 in Europe). He helped Malaga reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The 21-year-old Isco in 2013 has made great progress in recent years, winning the European Golden Boy Award last season, attracting the attention of many big clubs. Real Madrid, Manchester City are also eager to sign the Spanish rising star, and the advantage of the Blue Moon is that their manager Palegrini is Isco's mentor in Malaga, although Isco himself is clearly more interested in joining Real Madrid.
Real Madrid – a new starting point:
In the early hours of 27 June 2013, Real Madrid president Perez announced that they had signed Malaga midfielder Isco, who carries the title of "Golden Boy of Europe". As real Madrid's first signing in the 2013-14 season, midfielder Isco chose to wear the "no. 23" shirt that David Beckham once wore. Isco explained: "I know David Beckham is a great player and it's an honor to have the opportunity to wear the shirt he's chosen. I liked the 23rd and chose this number because it was my brother's birthday. "The national team
Isco began representing Spain's U17 at the age of 16 and was later a key member, wearing the number 10 shirt for the 2009 World Junior Football Championship in Nigernia. He impressed everyone at the U-21 European Championship in Israel. He scored 3 goals and was instrumental in Spain's victory. He made his debut for the national team in spanish friendlies against Ukraine in February 2013.
Technical features
Technique, speed and imagination are the traits that Isco has made a top midfielder. Do not rely on the body more dependent on technology, although most of the time play the role of the front waist in the 4231 system, but Isco can also be competent for both wings, therefore, his speed and explosiveness will naturally not be too bad, however, it is difficult to see Isco with the ball long drive straight into the opponent's defense line of the shot, even if the edge of the breakthrough he will often take the initiative to attract the opposing defenders to fight, and then use the exquisite ball action to get rid of it, both to stretch the opponent's defense line, And he can also find the best teammate as soon as he finishes. Dribbling and passing: The delicate and elegant dancer Isco's ability to excel is based on his outstanding foot skills, and presumably La Liga loyalists will be impressed by his wonderful back-to-back picks against Valencia this season. Skilled world-class frontcourt players have contributed consecutive highlights in La Liga, such as Ronaldo, Messi and Iniesta, but Isco's consecutive picks are no less than those of these predecessors, and in Malaga's game against Valladolid, he also had a brilliant moment on the right side that played the opposing full-back for five consecutive times, giving people the perfect enjoyment of technical football. Excellent anticipation and catching ability, excellent ball sense and flexibility allow him to always beautifully defeat the opponent's tight-handed passing and shooting: the organization is better than scoring, and like his predecessor Silva, Isco is also a player who puts the ball first, always able to maximize the ability of his teammates around him. In Malaga, Isco's position is dominated by the middle, and whenever he takes the ball in front of the penalty area, he will always attract the attention of the opposing back or the defensive players of the center-back, and the first time to send a straight plug to the teammate who is inserted in front. Isco is one of the 22 players who have passed the ball in the first 19 rounds of La Liga, and the only player in Malaga to reach this height, with a pass success rate of 82.5%, but his ability to pass fatally needs to be improved compared to Iniesta, Xiaofa and Messi, who are at the top of the assist list. After coming to Real Madrid, Isco's ability to defend, shoot and directly have improved, making people have to imagine how far this talented but hard-working young man can improve.
