Yunus Musah is the fashionable player in this Valencia . The 17-year-old winger is making a name for himself at Javi Gracia's Valencia despite his youth. He has played seven games for the black and white team. In the elite.At the first level after the plunder of talent that has been undertaken with this staff throughout the last market and young people have to appear almost out of obligation.
One of them, the one that stands out the most, is this talent that stands out for its power but above all for what is not seen ... a personality unlike a boy who does not even come of age.Yunus is called.
Ghanaian but born in the United States , although living in Italy, in England ... his life is almost a Tower of Babel . It has been one of the sensations in this start of the low cost Valencia .
He tiptoed to the city of Turia 15 months ago. The then technical secretary, Pablo Longoria , managed to get hold of his services and brought him to the Mediterranean. A year later he has found that window that any player dreams of and has been able to take advantage of it like the most. And he's only 17 years old .
It is possibly the only joy so far in a club where there is a lack of control in sports management. This young man has appeared almost as a surprise . And it is fulfilling phases. The debut, the establishment in the team ... and the goal has also come to him .
He made his debut seven days ago in the duel against Getafe with a gallop in which he showed power and definition. His first goal has been very popular, one of the best in the championship so far and that gives him added value in the group and among the black and white fans.
Accepted in the locker room
Yunus Musah is a player very accepted by the dressing room from day one . They consider him as one more when that role must be earned over time, but the personality that he has shown together with his physical conditions are what have opened the doors of veterans. They believe it and have blessed it. Motives is giving them. Both in the training sessions that he has done this last year with the 'elders', but especially when he has had to play and has ratified it again.
They have fully integrated it and that is already an important step. He also has the approval of his coach, Javi Gracia, who has not hesitated to put it on from day one . His ownership against Levante on the first day of the League was a surprise. Nobody expected it. The Navarrese risked it knowing what he was doing.
Mature decision at age 16
He is clear about the steps he must take in his career. That is why he opted for Valencia. It was a golden opportunity. With risks because he was in the prolific Arsenal academy where the average age of a rookie in the elite is usually very young if it is worth ... and Yunus was among the chosen. Possibly last year he would have already taken the leap from the hand of the Gunners ... but he preferred to be guided by that sixth sense and bet heavily on the challenge of the Spanish League and specifically for Valencia. He was convinced that he was going to achieve it, according to MARCA sources linked to the young footballer.
And the great duel arrives
Therefore, he faces his first big game . One of those who dick. A Valencia-Real Madrid . Although each game is a plus of motivation for this footballer when it comes to playing against the Madrid squad there is always a response. And despite the fact that he has his feet on the ground, because of that marked personality, this duel allows him to dream. And if talent dreams, everything is possible .
