Álvaro Borja Morata Martín (born 23 October 1992 in Madrid) is a Spanishfootballer who plays for Real Madrid
Castilla as a striker.
Club career
Morata signed for local and national giants Real Madrid in 2008 from neighbouring Getafe CF, finishing his formation two
years later, but starting appearing for Real Madrid C still as a junior. In July
2010, after a successful season with theJuvenil A where he won two youth
titles and scored 34 goals, he was promoted to the B team.
Later that month, first team coach José Mourinho took the player alongside
four teammates to a preseason tour in United States.
On 15 August 2010, Morata made his debut with
Castilla in a friendly match withAD Alcorcón, scoring the only goal of the
game. His third division debut came on the 29th in a
3–2 win against Coruxo FC, and he scored his first
official goal in a 1–1 draw against RSD Alcalá, on 31 October.
On 12 December 2010, Morata made his debut
for the Real Madrid first team, when he was brought on as a substitute for Ángel di María in the 88th minute of a 3–1
win at Real Zaragoza. Ten days later, he made his
debut in the Spanish Cup, also coming from the bench in
the last minutes. In January 2011, afterGonzalo Higuaín's injury, Spanish media
appointed him to be his replacement in the main squad. However, Mourinho
discarded this option saying that "he's not prepared to be in the starting
lineup of Real Madrid. He needs to grow up and finish his formation with
Castilla". In this period of time, Morata scored five
goals in four matches with the reserveswhile Emmanuel Adebayor was being signed to fit the
missing striker in the first team.
On 13 February 2011, Morata scored the first hat-trick of his career, in a 7–1
victory against Deportivo
de La Coruña B. He finished his
first season as a senior with 14 league goals (squad best
alongside Joselu), but
Castilla failed to promote in the
playoffs.
International
career
Morata was called by the Spanish under-17 team for the 2009
FIFA World Cup inNigeria, playing four matches and scoring
two goals for the third-placed team. Subsequently,
he represented the under-19s at the Japan International Tournament, helping the national team
finish second after the hosts.
Morata was selected by Spain to the squad
that appeared in the 2011 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship in Romania, helping the national team win the
tournament with six goals, the highest in the competition.
Playing style
Good in the air and at holding up the ball,
with clinical finishing ability and excellent movement, Morata drew comparisons
to legendary Spaniard and former Real Madrid talisman Fernando
Morientes due to his style.
