Talent Scout: Alberto Bueno

July 9th, 2007 by SM Dev (ste)

Alberto Bueno Calvo (Alberto Bueno) was born 20 March, 1988, in Madrid. The Madrid born youngster was top scorer during the UEFA European U-19 tournament in Poland, during the summer of 2006, where he scored five, as he helped Spain to the championship.

Bueno started his Madrid career in the clubs various youth teams, and broke into the 2005-06 Real Madrid Juvenil A team, at the age of 17. He was part of the talented youth team that only lost three matches during the course of the season, scoring 94 goals, and only conceding 32 in the process. Bueno finished as the clubs leading scorer with 37 goals, as he showed a knack for unlocking tight defences.

At the end of the season he was called up to help Spain in the 2006 UEFA European U-19 Championship. Bueno was the star striker of the tournament, scoring five goals, two of which were in the final.

His displays for the U-19’s earned him promotion to Real Madrid’s ‘B’ team, for the start of the 2006-07 season. During the course of the season, Bueno was limited to mainly substitute appearances, as Juan Mata, and Alvaro Negredo kept him out of the team. The 2007-08 season is the ideal time for him to establish himself as first team player, as Mata as joined Valencia, and Negredo has gone on loan to La Liga outfit Almeria.

Bueno played a key part in Spain’s 2006 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship success. During the tournament, Bueno struck up an excellant partnership with ex Real Madrid Castilla striker Juan Mata. Together they terrorised opposition defences, and the strike partnership scored 9 goals between them, which helped Spain triumph 2-1 over Scotland in the final.

Alberto Bueno is currently a 79 rated AM, and if he sees more playing time at Castilla, and carries on with his impressive performances for the Spanish youth teams, he should easily continue his rise.
