A great footballer
, Jose Antonio Reyes, arrived at Sevilla FC when he was ten years old . He quickly went through all the categories, from cadet to subsidiary. “He was small, cheeky, with that long black hair. We were European champions in Munich with him on the team,” recalls Pablo Blanco, the mythical sevillista captain and responsible for the Sevilla academy for more than 30 years.
His good game and his way of being made him the youngest Sevilla footballer to debut in the elite, when he was only 16 years and four months old.“He is the greatest pure talent that the Sevilla youth academy has given,” says Blanco, who affirms that he remains “with his joy and his desire to succeed.”
