Alvaro Morata, looking for a record with Spain

Last update 6 April, 2024 by Alberto Llopis

Without enjoying too many opportunities at Real Madrid, the young Álvaro Morata is the benchmark in attack of the Spanish team Sub 21. A born scorer who already adds 13 targets with the red girl in just 12 parties. From the hand of Julen Lopetegui, debuted with Spain in the last European Championship of the category played in Israel, in which Spain lifted the trophy and he proclaimed himself the top scorer of the championship.

His scoring rhythm continues to grow vertiginously and at this rate he will soon break all records. At present, counting all countries, the top scorer in the history of the category is Alberto "the violinist" Gilardino. The one from Piedmont, managed to score 19 goals in 30 matches with the second transalpine team. Just one rung below him, are gunners like the Dutch Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, the English Alan Shearer or the German Pierre Littborski, all of them with 18 many.

Back, Pablo Couñago and Adrian Lopez were left with 9 many. In his last game with the Spanish team, Morata, exceeded the 12 goals from Oscar Garcia Junyent. Roger Garcia's brother swelled to score with the inferior of Spain between the years 92 y 96, however it did not have continuity in the absolute. Madrid's nine only has the Spanish-Brazilian Rodrigo Moreno Machado ahead. The Rio Janeiro-born Benfica striker trained as a footballer at Celta de Vigo and the Real Madrid youth academy, therefore enjoy dual nationality. Con 15 goals is the top scorer of Spain Sub 21 of history.

That is the first goal of the white striker, once passed, it will be time to broaden horizons and set new goals, goals such as becoming the underdog top scorer in 21 years of history and write your name next to the great stars of the present and the past, like Gilardino and Shearer.

Historic top scorer of all the lower categories of the Spanish team with 32 targets, the one from Mirasierra does not seem to find his place in Carlo Ancelotti's team. Brides do not stop emerging and half Premier sighs to take over his services and count on him as of this summer. Will Morata be a new Negredo case, Soldier Kills Him?, Another youth squad that is not valid for Real Madrid and will have to seek life away from the Santiago Bernabéu?. At the moment it has gone from being claimed by the Bernabéu public to being whistled by it. We will see the end of the story.
