Thiago Pitarch's first words after debuting with Real Madrid: 'The best...'

The Madridist gem, together with Roberto Martín, spoke about the day of his debut with the white club

In addition to David Alaba and Éder Militao, the Madrid academy players Thiago Pitarch and Roberto Martín spoke to the microphone of Real Madrid TV. Both midfielders fulfilled the dream of making their debut with the club's first team. 

"It's an honor to play wearing this jersey. The dream every child has from a young age", said Thiago Pitarch. The young footballer, who has made the jump from Juvenil A to the first team, still isn't aware of what's happening to him.

He already had minutes in the training match against CD Leganés, in which he managed to score a goal. As a reward, Xabi Alonso decided to take the player to Innsbruck.Thiago Pitarch appeared on the field in the 83rd minute and had a play in which he came close to scoring.

The dream of Thiago Pitarch and Roberto Martín

Meanwhile, both emphasized that they were very "excited to talk to Xabi Alonso", since they had seen him "as kids" on "television" and now have him as their coach.

"I'm very intense, with a lot of grit and attitude. I cover many kilometers (kilómetros) all over the field, in addition to technical quality", said Thiago Pitarch when asked to describe himself as a player.

If it was special for Thiago Pitarch, it was even more so for Roberto Martín. The La Fábrica player was lucky enough to make his debut with Real Madrid on his 19th birthday. "I've fulfilled a dream, it's the best birthday gift possible", the footballer said.

"You're playing with the best players in the world, I couldn't believe what was happening on the field", said Roberto Martín. Like Thiago Pitarch, he also described his football style: "I always try to give my best, I make long passes, turn, and create spaces", he emphasized.

With the debuts of Thiago Pitarch and Roberto Martín, Xabi Alonso keeps showing that he fully trusts La Fábrica. He already bet on Gonzalo García for the Club World Cup, and the striker is now part of the first team after his great performance. Meanwhile, yesterday Daniel Yañéz, a forward who made his debut last season during Real Madrid's visit to Montilivi, also got minutes again.
