Real Madrid star’s son, Marcelo’s boy, captains Spain in under-17 match | OneFootball

Young Enzo Alves is one of the great promises of Spanish football for the coming years. The son of Marcelo, a starting forward in the youth squad of Real Madrid, appeared last Wednesday as captain of Spain in the 3-0 victory over Andorra, in a match valid for the Under-17 Euro Qualifiers.

There is a great show of confidence in Enzo Alves from the Spanish youth system. The idea is for him to be a key player, one of the cornerstones of coach Sergio García's new project.

And what about Brazil?

Enzo Alves lost the label of “Marcelo’s son” some time ago in Spain. The young player is part of a Spanish development plan also designed to avoid being courted by Brazil, a country he could represent due to his parents’ nationality. However, born in Spain, Enzo really seems determined to build his career with the European national team.

In total, across all youth categories at Real Madrid, Enzo is already close to 150 goals since he arrived. Now, he has stood out in the under-19s. In the first two rounds of the Spanish Championship for the category, the youngster came off the bench. However, in the last two matches, he started and scored two goals, one every 87 minutes.
