Mario Martin was the surprise name in the squad of Carlo Ancelotti for the Spanish Super Cup. The 18-year-old midfielder has entered Real Madrid's first team list for the first time in his career. He told the club official media channel how that happened. "I was in Sonseca (Toledo) on my day off with my parents because we didn't train with Castilla. Raúl called me and told me. My father took me to the airport right away."

Mario Martn spends the weekdays in a residence in Madrid to avoid the 120-kilometer drive from his hometown of Sonseca to the Real Madrid Sports City.

He declares with pride, "I am from Sonseca, where Morientes is from. I am an intense player who enjoys going to the duel and also playing as a team".

After the defeat to Alcorcón (4-1) on October 2, he made his debut with Castilla. Since then has played every game as a starter, except the last one against Algeciras. He is one of Castilla's revelations this year and hopes to make the big leap. He's already on the right track.
