Andres Caro: The Rising Star of Malaga CF Who Could Be the Next Isco

In it Málaga CF a lot of top players have passed in recent years. Especially since a decade ago, after the arrival of Sheikh Abdullah Al-Thani. Because they made multiple star hires, among which we can highlight those of Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Santi Cazorla, Nacho Monreal, Julio Baptista, Joaquín Sánchez, Javier Saviola, or Roque Santa Cruz, among others. But without a doubt, the most outstanding was Isco Alarcon.

He was stolen from Valencia, where he had no chances in the first team, and he went from being an unknown to becoming one of the most sought-after young footballers on the planet. Proof of this is that he was chosen as Golden Boy, the Ballon d’Or for those under 21 years of age, in 2012, and at the end of that course, in which he guided the Blue and Whites to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, he signed for he Real Madrid. There he was also indisputable during his first campaigns.

Since the one from Arroyo de la Miel left, in La Rosaleda they have not had another crack of its prestige and its level. Obviously, the economic and sporting crisis that they have gone through has also caused them to have to settle for players of a lower rank. But now they’re convinced they have a new diamond in the rough, and that’s Andres Carowho has come out of the quarry, and who sees the potential to be one of the best in his position.

At 18, he had the opportunity to have some continuity during the final stretch of the season, and Pablo Guede gave him a confidence that he did not miss. He was very safe and reliable, despite his inexperience in the elite, and showed that he can help the team a lot. In fact, it is expected that he will remain in the first team, and many even predict that he could be the undisputed starter from the first day of LaLiga SmartBank.

For the moment, he will do the preseason with the Argentine coach, while they work on renewing his contract. As they point out in Malaga Todayat the club they are trying to shield Andrés Caro, raising his record and, consequently, his termination clause.
