Atlético Madrid: Francisco Javier Montero, the 'colchonero' who plays wearing glasses.

In the match against Arsenal for the International Champions Cup, the attention was drawn to a center back from Atlético de Madrid who played the match with glasses, which of course reminded of the Dutchman Edgar Davids. It is the homegrown player 'colchonero' Francisco Javier Montero, who played 75 minutes and was one of the standout players in Simeone's defense.

This season he will play for the Atlético de Madrid B team for the first time after four consecutive years in the youth teams of the red and white. He is one of the club's bets for the future, although Montero's future could have been compromised in 2017.

In March of last year, the center back suffered a trauma in his left eye that caused a detached retina. But for him, it was just another hazard of the profession and he moved forward, not caring even about contact or going strong and secure in aerial play.

For that, of course, he needs glasses as a work tool and so far he wears them with great naturalness, without the glasses representing a problem for him. On the contrary. However, he only uses them to play, as he doesn't wear them even during training sessions.

For now, he is known as the 'masked' player of Atlético, but very soon, with or without glasses, he will surely be known for his bravery and good game, which has already caught Simeone's attention.
