Quarry casting in the USA

After a week sweating in Valdebebas, two stayed on the ground and four got on the flight to the United States . On July 11, the first day of the 2022-23 pre-season, Ancelotti surprised by calling up six Castilla players: Luis López, Lucas Cañizares, Vinicius Tobias, Latasa , Rafa Marín and Antonio Blanco. The last two, finally, will not be on the tour of the Americas. Yes the first four; two goalkeepers, a right back (who knocks on the door with swift force) and a center forward. They are the final oasis of the subsidiary for this preseason. Four soccer players who, beyond their brilliant present, have an enormous aura of cracks in the future.

Luis Lopez

Goalkeeper, 21 years old, left-handed. For months he has been alternating the role of third goalkeeper with Fuidias, to the point that he has entered calls with great responsibility, such as the Clásico in October 2020. He was one of the components of Castilla that raised the Youth League in the summer of 2020. Born in Murcia, where he played before (Real Murcia), this season he has played 14 games with the Whites’ reserve team, conceding 15 goals (three clean sheets) . With Fuidias heading for the exit ramp, it is expected that this season he will take on more stripes in Raúl’s team. With a huge wingspan ( 1.93 meters ), he arrived at Valdebebas in 2015. And he was already in the preseason last summer.

Lucas Canizares

Goalkeeper, 20 years old, right-handed. He is the son of Santi Cañizares , formerly of Real Madrid and champion of the Seventh. Like his father, Lucas also decided from a very young age that gloves and popcorn were his thing; not the goals and the bicycles. After growing in the lower categories (he arrived in 2014 from Alboraya) this season he will make the final jump to Castilla, competing with Luis López for the position . He has already made his debut in the subsidiary, but he has always had two more established goalkeepers ahead of him who, now, will be him and López. He is 1.86 meters tall and in the corridors of La Fábrica his mental strength and footwork stand out. He has been international with Spain in the lower categories.
