José Carlos and Maty, the future of midfield

The homegrown Malaguistas formed a pair in midfield during last Sunday’s match against Duisburg. This year they’ve played alongside each other in the Juvenil DH, Malagueño and the first team.

The names of Maty and José Carlos have appeared together in the starting-11s of three squads within Málaga CF in less than a year. Míchel called-up the duo for yesterday’s friendly against Duisburg in the Schauinsland Reisen Cup. With this match, the two players completed the trio of teams with whom they’ve shared midfield, in less than 365 days.

They know each other perfectly, and were main players this season during Atlético Malagueño’s superb campaign, both being in the ‘juvenil’ category.

Thanks to their young age, both were also able to participate with the Juvenil DH in the last Copa de Campeones, where they were proclaimed runners-up, as well as the UEFA Youth League.
