Mario Martín Rielves, born in Sonseca on 5 March 2004, and long considered one of the great promises of the Real Madrid academy, is living up to expectations in his first season in the first spanish division.
After more than four years as a player at the club, and after a magnificent pre-season with the first team, Mario, at just 20 years of age, found his chance to make his debut in LaLiga this summer at Real Valladolid, where he will play the whole season on loan.
Despite the team's difficult start in the competition, Mario Martín has been one of the most outstanding players in a team in great need of the characteristics of this spanish midfielder.
Character, personality, sacrifice, intensity and leadership are some of the features of the young player. Beyond the mental aspect and its importance for the team, however, Mario's technical and tactical qualities are also very relevant.
Technically, we are talking about a very refined player profile, something characteristic of the Real Madrid youth academy. He is an accurate passer, both short and long, and has a great ability to play associatively.
Tactically, he is also an interesting player. He is very tidy on the ball and, off the ball, his intensity and physical strength make him a very valuable player in defensive transition situations. It is true that he has a lot of room for improvement in aspects such as positioning without the ball, reading the game and decision making, but this is natural given the player's youth and the short time he has been integrated into the ecosystem of his new team.
Finally, we have to talk about one of his most attractive aspects, the physical one. He is a player of great work rate and aggressiveness, capable of repeating efforts at a high intensity, and of enormous quality in the individual duel, which makes him a great ball-winner.
Hopefully Mario Martin can show all his qualities and develop his full potential this season to become an important player who can continue his path at the club where he still belongs, Real Madrid.
