Fran Gonzalez is a young talented player coming from the land whose second language is observed as football. The 19 year old goal-keeper joined the youth academy of Real Madrid “La Fabrica” in 2022 after developing at Cultural Leonesa. One of the iconic skills observed in this emerging player is aerial ability & agility. This garnered an opportunity for Fran that arrived not just by circumstance but also due to trust. Fran Gonzalez got the stage set for his debut appearance after the prominent players Thibaut and Andrity were sidelined due to injuries.
“Fran is ready. He has trained with us, and we have full confidence in his abilities. His mentality reminds me of a young Buffon” said Carlo Ancelotti, Manager, Real Madrid
“He’s not just filling in. He’s here because he deserves to be, I have complete confidence in Fran. He’s a great goalkeeper; his only problem is that he’s young. It’s happened to everyone, and sooner or later your time comes. If it’s tomorrow, we’ll be very happy for him, because we’re all convinced he’s going to have a great future.” he added.
