Saul Nyges, whose biography will be described below, is one of the most talented midfielders in today's Spanish football. He has won the European League victory, the Champions League final, as well as the continental champion title among youth teams. The young midfielder is an indispensable link in the game of FC Atletico Madrid, in which he began to play as a seventeen-year-old teenager.
Characteristic
Many believe that in the Spanish championship, only two strong clubs play - Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, the Atlético coach Diego Simeone categorically disagrees with this, who managed to put together a battle-worthy team from not the most stellar players, which could well defeat any opponent. Saul Nyges is a prime example of such a football player.
With no Neymar dribbling and Bale speed, Saul nonetheless serves as an example of an excellent central midfielder. He is physically strong, good at martial arts, hardy, and most importantly, he is good at handling the ball at the highest speeds, which is especially appreciated in modern football.
The game of FC Atletico Madrid is sharpened by constant pressure on the opponent and pressure, which requires players stamina and the ability to make instant decisions in a limited amount of time.
Saul fits perfectly into the tactical scheme of the team, participating in both the selection of the ball and the organization of attacks.
On the account of the midfielder a lot of aggravating programs in games for his club. In addition, he himself is not lost in front of other people's gates, scoring goals from time to time.
The beginning of the way
Saul Nyges was born in 1994 in the Spanish city of Elche. His father was also a professional football player and played as a striker in the Elche club. From the age of four, he began his training, studying with his older brothers. He had to fight with guys who were five to six years older than him, which undoubtedly tempered the character of a young football player.
At the age of 11, Saul made a difficult decision to leave his hometown to study at the Academy of the legendary Real Madrid and moved to Madrid. It was not easy for him here, the metropolitan guys did not accept the provincial into their team, he lived apart from the others, but continued to train hard. Saul Nyges' patience snapped when his teammates intentionally survived him from the team, it came to the point that they were hiding the clothes of a native of Elche.
He did not torture himself anymore and in 2008 he moved to the school of another club in Madrid - Atletico. Here, Saul's affairs went smoothly, he became one of the most promising pupils of the team. In 2011, he began playing for the second team of Atletico, and in 2012, Diego Simeone periodically attracted a young midfielder to the matches of the main team.
Breakthrough
In order for Saul Nyges to have a game practice, the club leaders decided to rent it to Rayo Vallecano, where he could spend more time on the field. In a modest club from the second Spanish league, Saul became the main player and spent a great season, which earned him a callback to Atlético.
In the 2014-2015 season, he fiercely fought for a place at the base, making an excellent impression with his mature game.
However, Saul Nyges really bloomed the following season, which became especially hasty for his club. Atletico terrified the opponents in the Champions League and managed to reach the finals of the prestigious tournament. Not the last role in this was played by Saul, who became the main player of the team after the departure of Ard Turan, the former leader of midfield.
Fans did not even notice the departure of the Turk, as a young midfielder became one of the key links in the team, suppressing opponents in his area and constantly aggravating the game in attack with sharp passes. Together with Atlético Saul was on the verge of winning the most prestigious club tournament in Europe, but in the final match Real Madrid managed to beat Diego Simeone's “gang” in extra time.
Saul began to be involved in matches for the main national team of Spain since 2016, however, due to fierce competition for a place in the composition, he does not play so often, having only a few matches.
