Fer Lopez to Wolves Transfer: Celta Vigo Wonderkid and Nutmeg, Bacton UNITED, in Sofolk when 14

Wolves caused a stir by moving to Celta Vigo, the young Fair Lopez. Special talent, 21 -year -old playmaker left many supporters of the Spanish club in anger from his imminent director. But Lopez may have been always directed to return to England.

This is true, the move to Molineux for 19.5 million pounds, the amount of which will not be his first taste of the English game. There is still an echo only at the age of fourteen years of Suffolk School where he studied – and in Pact -United 89, the club was trained alongside the cultivated men.

Ryan Owens was the coach of the first side and then competed in the seventh step of the English Premier League pyramid when a small Spanish appeared to join the sessions. “It was a different broth. Just a completely different level,” Owens says Sky Sports.

Just a boy, he was not allowed to play any actual games. “But he will join us in shooting sessions and small games. He will spend the entire training session in placing the ball in the upper corner of the network and getting out of the players.”

“He had an evil sense of humor. We had one player who would have come a nutmeg again and again. He liked to end up. On a trip to the house, he was just laughing,” Owens added. It stops temporarily. “This child is playing against Real Madrid now.”

It is the story completely, which came because Owenz Paul Greenger’s friend – “a little legend in the local football scene” – brought Lopez to Pakon in the hope of adding his education to football. Finding new challenges to the Pandeen was difficult.

Grainer was training in FinBorough, the private school near StowMarket where Lopez enrolled in the fall of 2018. Sky Sports.

The plan for Lopez, which is already talent at the Celta Vigo Academy, was to train twice a week with Norwich City as well. But this was not always easy. “He had to get a taxi to Epsowic and then a train to Norwich. He had to see me to get his taxi fare.”

This is because Greenger had a dual role as a school account. When Lopez became a little disappointed in Norwich – in a familiar cup of English football, “They told him he was very young” – the boy Greenger asked for one additional sessions.

“The maintenance of its levels was still appropriate when he returned to Vigo.” What did you think about the young Lopez? “I have seen some of the best players in the world playing football. I haven’t seen a soccer player like him. He was literally incredible.

“Since the first day, I knew it would be a star.”

Greenger is full of stories. “I remember I am trying to make him do a beginner work in the basketball network in a thunderstorm, which I thought would be difficult. He all made it in it, so I replaced it to share the network ball, so there was no back plate and still did it. The accuracy was crazy.

“I exploded with what it could do with football.

“We used to make free kicks with a small goal as a wall, and bend in the big goal. He was putting 30 respectively in the upper corner. It was his vision. This was a nuts. He would always lead to a nut of the coconut with our papers on which we were walking.”

Galicia is not strange for rain until Lopez did not put. “I was in heavy rains with him for three hours once, and I finally peeled my socks, that was wet. There was no stopping. He had an incredible dedication. Hunger for perfection.”

And fierce appetite as well. “I played for him in a cup game where almost all the school went out to watch it and took it with one minute until he got a single applause tour because we won 7-1 and recorded five of them.

Instead, he looked at me and said: “Why did you take me off? There is a remaining minute, I could have another goal.

“We thought he would have tightened him a little,” Greenger recalls. “The first thing he did on the field is the background of a person, and overpowered them and put a cross to register. All adults stood there and looked at each other.”

Being a replacement for Paktun has become routine for another reason – the experience of having to warm up with Wonderkid. “Nobody wants to be on the sidelines on Saturday. You will spend the entire game watching the ball flying between your legs.”

These players will feel a little less shocked by a young boy these days. Lopez appeared for the first time in Laylaga in December, three days after recording twice in Cuba del Rery. He has since played in Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

“It is very strange when a message has just played a person who has just played against Real Madrid in Bernabeu,” says Greenger laughing. “We have never lost touch. Most weekends exchange messages about the game. I watch it almost all.”

For Grainger, pride is clear. Nearly seven years have passed since he was taking him to the Caro Road to watch the U21 game and put him in his steps on those cold and wet Sundays – Bensa does not ask what is still considered a privilege.

“Why did you do that? Imagine that you were in cars and one of them said that you can take care of Lamborghini or Ferrari for four hours a week? For me, does not improve life from training someone like that. Suddenly, you have a child who can do everything literally.”

Things went so well that Greenger pledged the sponsorship of Lopez’s young brother when he came to England. He still trains a handful of young people, but not as much as he did before. “Since Fernando, I have only been working with really good things,” explains Greenger.

“I have a young striker who has tried. Fernando had just left the stadium in Real Madrid – literally. He said:” How will my thousands continue? I told him about the trial and sent a video.

Regardless of his clear talents, this emotional maturity is what helps to persuade those who know that he will reach the top. “It is very smart.” Lopez is studying for a certificate in law and business administration. His father is a notary, and his mother is a psychologist.

“The entire family is very cool people.” After you attended the Castro British School, outside VIGO, the language will definitely be a problem as well. “English speaks better than me.” This 14 -year -old boy is now 6 feet and 2 inches long.

This is why much should not be read in his relatively late appearance. In Celta, they understood that it would take some time, which is why it protects its development. “He had a late growth boom, and that’s it,” explains Greenger. “I have been running now.”

It has been distinguished for big things for a long time such as 2022 by the legend of Celta Iago Aspas, and has since been there a interest from the largest clubs in Spain as well as Juventus in Italy. His profile has grown greatly since the first team storming, and the phenomenon of his talent immediately.

He is seen as ASPAS heir, and has been used in his role on the right. “They often play it on the right side, so that he can cut from there. But he can play midfield, No. 10, and display it in the foreground, to a large extent anywhere in the midfield and higher.”

He was excellent against Atletico, scored his victory over Mallorca and scored the opening match at 3-0 victory over Villarreal. The boy who enjoyed himself at the Sofolk Stadium is now shining Spain. “He can sit on five players on their ass with his skills.”

Its quality is evident through the fact that it has reached the average successful ball more than any other player last season in Laliga. “He has a vision to separate the team.” His dribbling skills are also a prominent position, only exceeding his opponents.

Lopez puts his dodging skills in the working hours he placed with Grainger, although the man himself does not decrease. “The best thing I taught is that if you pave the ball from playing, you should scream,” make it! “He is still doing it now.”

Little of this English effect is already there, then.

It is now described by some in the British media as a possible alternative to Mathius as they are leaving in wolves. The club itself is keen to reduce these comparisons. This is the possibility of a young man who will definitely need some time to adapt.

But Lopez’s long -term capabilities are boundless. “I have already visited a few bets to see if I can bet on him playing with Spain in the 2026 World Cup,” Greenger admits. “I have no doubt that he will become an international soccer player. There is nothing missing.”

As for the former Pakton president, he is still enjoying that the world is now seeing what he has done throughout those past years. “Reminds me of Mahaiz. The ball sticks to his feet.” “From Pact to La Liga to the Premier League,” he added.
