In La Liga, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are fierce competition with each other, which can be called "arch-enemies". Historically, many players have played for two of these clubs, but very few have had a stellar career with all three. One such player is German soccer legend Schuster, who played for Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the 1980s and 1990s.
Now, the Spanish striker Morata, who has had outstanding performances at Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, may become the "second man" after Schuster.
One is 189cm tall and relies on his strong body to grab a header in the penalty area; the other is 180cm tall and relies on his exquisite footwork to grab a shot in the penalty area. Although they have no similarities in physical conditions and style of play, but Morata has been hailed as "Raul successor", the reason is that their growing experience is quite similar.
Raul joined the Atletico Madrid youth camp at the age of 13, joined the Real Madrid youth team at the age of 15, and became a generation of legendary players at Real Madrid.
Morata also entered the Atletico Madrid youth camp at the age of 13 and left at the age of 15, only instead of joining Real Madrid immediately, he went to the Getafe youth team before joining the Real Madrid youth team for another year.
In 2010, Morata, who scored 34 goals for Real Madrid's youth team, was called up by new Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho to practice with the first team, but he didn't get much of a chance over the next two seasons. However, in the next two seasons, he did not get too many opportunities.In the summer of 2012, Morata was promoted to the first team again, and in the 2012-13 season, he made 15 appearances in all competitions for Real Madrid, scoring 2 goals.In the 2013-14 season, due to the arrival of Hesse, Morata's chances of appearing in the game were limited, and he made 34 appearances in all competitions, scoring 9 goals.
In the summer of 2014, Real Madrid sold Morata to Juve and set a buyback clause. Over the next two seasons, Morata performed very well for Juve, and in the summer of 2016, Real Madrid activated the buyback clause to sign Morata back. However, this was not a good thing for Morata, who was on the rise.
Under the coaching of Zidane, Real Madrid has a BBC combination, Morata can only become a "super substitute". Although the 2016-17 season he scored second only to Crow, became the team's second scorer, but at the end of the season, Morata was sold by Real Madrid to Chelsea. From this process, Real Madrid repurchase Morata, completely in order to sell to Chelsea, so as to make a large transfer fee.
At Chelsea, Morata was nowhere near as good as the Blues' former star striker Diego Costa.In January 2019, Morata joined Atletico Madrid on a rent-and-buy transfer. At Atletico, his performances were also a far cry from the top strikers.
In September 2020, Atletico Madrid loaned Morata to Juve. The season is coming to an end and Juve have still not implemented Morata's buyout clause. Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Juve will not buy Morata out if they fail to advance to next season's Champions League. Atletico will reduce the loan fee if the loan is renewed, but Atletico did not accept the offer.
