My Best Prospect: Juanpi

Juan Pablo Añor, better known as Juanpi(Caracas, Venezuela, January 24,  1994), is a Venezuelan footballer that plays as a midfielder for Málaga CF in the Primera División de España, or La Liga. At just 15,  Juanpi came to Málaga's youth team where he began to stand out as a midfielder, but moreover, in his preferred position as a winger. In his first three years in the Martiricos youth team, he scored 37 goals in 72 games.

Thanks to his 37 goals, Juanpi reached Atlético Malagueño, the feeder team of Málaga. This is where he began to really demonstrate his quality, becoming one of the most sought after players in his position, along with other jewels from Los Boquerones like Samu Castilla and Sergi Darder.

In the summer of 2013, Juanpi was called up to the preseason friendly squad by manager Bernd Schuster, and he played in 26 games with the youth team managed by Javi Gracia, scoring 11 goals, with superb individual performances such as against Martos CD.

As a result of these great performances, Gracia, who became coach of the first team, decided to play him, despite still being in the youth team, which is why the entire season he wore the number #28.
