Luis Alberto

Mercedes Benz


Thanks to this Lazio fan, we have a small clue as to what he drives. It's highly likely that this vehicle is a Merc.

This attacking midfielder is a Sevilla youth product. Anyone that followed the Spanish fist division at the beginning of last decade might remember seeing him, albeit sparingly. His case is rather unfortunate because we reckon his development or lack thereof early on in his career can be attributed to Spain's blossoming football scene. The Spanish team from that era and its performances and the number of players that the nation produced, and still produces, is mind-blowing. It's also one of the reasons why his case was shelved, but like any true genius, he quietly overcame the odds and has now found his feet with Lazio. It didn't take much for him to convince Lazio when they bought him from Liverpool in 2016. If you were to make a judgment based on data that's on a computer, you'd certainly not look twice at him. After all, he was one of those fringe players that hadn't proved himself yet. Most of his appearances as a senior, before LFC signed him in 2013, have been for the B and C sides of Sevilla. He even did a loan stint at Barcelona, again with their B team. His Liverpool career was anything but sweet. He spent the second and third years of his time as a loanee at Malaga and Deportivo La Coruña. Thankfully, football doesn't work just by interpreting numbers. A technically gifted player, he's often compared to Isco of Real Madrid. He was a Spanish International youth player and would like if more opportunities came his way as a senior too.
