Pedro Porro

(Don Benito, 1999) expected the call of the Spanish team, but not of the absolute.

In the same week that the U21s play the European group stage, the Extremaduran has made an unexpected leap to

Luis Enrique's book

.

The promotion is temporary, because the losses of

Carvajal

,

Navas

and

Sergi Roberto

had left the right wing bare, but also a reward for his season with Sporting de Portugal.

It remains to be seen if his benefits will allow him to continue in the group in future calls.

His Lisbon team is the unbeaten leader of the Portuguese championship and Porro, named Best Defender of the Month three times, is one of the main reasons.

Porro has found everything he needed in Lisbon after his frustrating stint at Valladolid.

Confidence, continuity and a slate where it would fit better.

Rúben Amorim

uses a drawing of three centrals that gives him flight through the band, brings him closer to the opposite area and covers his back, something more similar to the system that Girona used when he broke into First Division and ended up signing for Manchester City hand in hand by

Pep Guardiola when we have the information

.

After the failed loan to Valladolid, Sporting's offer came last summer: a two-year loan and a purchase option for 8.5 million euros that now tastes like a bargain.

The Amorim system fits you like a glove.

The winger from Extremadura is the second highest-scoring player in all of Sporting and has already scored four goals, three in the League and one, the most important, in the League Cup final to give the lions the title.

It is there where his daring, his power and his shot shine best.

His presence invites us to think that Luis Enrique can take advantage of this last window to see how a defense of three centrals would suit Spain.

Although the selection band has owners, the invitation rewards the last jump in a dizzying career.

Progression

“He has always taken every opportunity he has had.

He has known how to attract attention, hit the doors and attract the spotlight, ”says

Óscar de Paula

, who had him at his command in the lower categories of the Extremadura team.

His team detected him when he was playing at Don Benito Gymnastic, in the second regional youth category, and he experienced his explosion closely.

«Then he was a vertical winger, with a lot of dribbling, very powerful physically, and with a lot of goal.

He had a great capacity for learning.

He's very clever, very rogue.

What you explain to him he takes it right away », explains in conversation with EL MUNDO the one who was a Real Sociedad player for more than a decade.

De Paula still remembers the game in which Pedro Porro entered the Spanish soccer radar head first.

"He scored a

hat-trick

against Cantabria and there he managed to enter all the books on the national scene."

An embryonic end that ends as a lateral.

A story analogous to that of

Jordi Alba

.

Soon, Porro stood out again against that team from the Community of Madrid in which the Obama brothers shone and won the pass to Rayo Vallecano.

It was, he has confessed, a difficult time on a personal level, in which the lack of adaptation led him to think about turning to Don Benito.

Porro persisted and the following season Girona tied him up.

From the hand of

Albert Syria

, director of the quarry, and under the tutelage of

Eusebio

, it began its conversion to lateral and a takeoff that has not yet found a ceiling.

Porro has refloated in Lisbon a race that had stopped in Valladolid, where a back injury and a defensive bet in which he did not fit.

From Manchester City they closely follow his evolution, but the Portuguese press already anticipates that Sporting plans to execute the purchase option.

For only 8.5 million euros he would have the best full-back in Portugal.
