But Pato Álvarez’s footballing family doesn’t stop with his father. Sebastián Abreu, the historic striker of Uruguay, the player who has played in the most clubs in the history of football and who recently, at 44, signed for number 30, Brazilian Athletic Club , is the first cousin of his mother. “I haven’t seen him for a long time, but we talk about it from time to time,” explains the Avilés footballer, who speaks of Abreu as “a footballer with an incredible career”.
He, at 24, joined the Avilés project with the aim of continuing to advance in his career, with the idea of growing up with a club that has set itself very ambitious goals. At first things didn’t go well for him due to physical issues, but in the last few games he has grown and played to a higher level every time. “The truth is that I am very happy here, I love Asturias and I am having a good time; at the beginning I was hit, with a physical problem, but I’m already much better and that helps me to add to the team ”.
Its good moment coincided with that of the team, which have six wins in the last seven games and which have qualified for the championship which will be played by the top six of the two third subgroups. The top two in this league will secure a place in the second division of the Spanish Federation, the team’s big goal for this season. “It would be great to have it,” he admits. To achieve this, he knows that errors can no longer be tolerated: “We are happy, little by little we are seeing the fruits of the season’s labor. What we have to do now is win all the games so that there is no failure and we get it, ”he said.
Avilés had a somewhat uneven start to the season, which ended with Abraham resigning from the coaching position. After the arrival of Luis Rueda on the bench, they finally found consistency and the results accompany: “The locker room was already united before, but now it has become even more united, we all get along very well, also with the coaches. , and we are all going to one, ”explains the Uruguayan player.
Regarding his role on the pitch, he explains that although he likes to “double down, play a little upwards and take crosses”, the first thing for him and the coach is to go from defensive safety: do not score. no goals for us, after all, the fewer goals they score, the more chances you have of winning ”.
