My Take
Manu Vallejo is the sort of young player I instinctively root for. Born in 1997 in Chiclana de la Frontera on the Cádiz coast, he is a Spanish forward and winger listed at just 167 cm. Small attackers cannot rely on physicality, so they sharpen their technique, timing, and cunning instead, and that is exactly the kind of football I find thrilling. There is something romantic about a kid from an Andalusian seaside town carrying local pride onto bigger stages. I will be watching to see how far his quickness and intelligence can take him.
