Last year, he played with the Alevín B and C teams, scoring a total of 87 goals between the two youth teams of the groguet academy.

One thing the International Carnaval Cup is known for is being a breeding ground for young football talents. This is the case for David Eghosa Idahosa (2012), of African descent, who is shining in his great participation in the Premiá tournament. Villarreal CF signed him from Málaga after he stood out in 27 matches in the Primera Andaluza, where he scored an impressive total of 21 goals. Football-wise, Eghosa is a very mobile and physical player, who primarily plays as a reference in attack, standing out for his ability to get free and finish with great precision.

Last year, in his first year in the groguet youth system, David Eghosa played for the Alevín B and C teams, where he managed to score a total of 87 goals between the two squads, a number that speaks for itself about his offensive potential. With a great ability to move across the entire attacking front, the young player is leaving his mark in every match he plays, showing the ability to lead his team in high-pressure moments.

Ignacio Bollini’s Depth of Talent

In this new phase, Villarreal’s second coach, Ignacio Bollini, has trusted David as the main figure of the team in the tournament. Alongside Sergi Alcover and Omar Rami, Eghosa has been the reference on the field in the first matches of the competition. Although they weren’t considered the big favorites, the groguet squad has started off strong in the International Carnaval Cup. “We’ve come to compete, we’re playing well. We won the first match 1-0 against VIC, a great team. I’ve been with the club for three years and so far I’ve only coached the youth teams. In the tournament, David Eghosa is standing out, playing great minutes,” comments Ignacio Bollini, second coach of Villarreal CF.

Villarreal continues to show that its youth academy is a talent farm, and Eghosa is one of the top representatives of this promising generation. In their second match of the tournament, the team drew 0-0 against Amposta, in a match where the Catalan side played them ‘toe to toe’ and they couldn’t break through Amposta’s defense. Although they didn’t earn the three points, the team’s performance remains one of the best in the tournament.

At just 12 years old, the groguet player is proving he has a bright future ahead of him. Villarreal’s academy continues to nurture young talents with great potential, and Eghosa is undoubtedly one of the most promising players of the next generation who could leave his mark on the first team of the Yellow Submarine.
