🎥 Jesulín in goal?: “He was a bit like Courtois” 🐂

In the heart of the Sierra de Ubrique, a goalkeeper was born who never fulfilled his dream of stepping onto the Bernabéu, and the team from 'El Día Después' has discovered him.

Jesús Janeiro Bazán, Jesulín de Ubrique, surprises by revealing an unexpected vocation. The bullfighter claims that if he hadn't swapped the cape for gloves, “I would have been a great goalkeeper. And I am very convinced of that.”

With the same confidence Ramos had when taking Panenka penalties, Jesulín compares himself. “I was a bit like Courtois.” When he saw him at Atlético, he thought: “wow, how much I resembled this man,” although fate led him to the bullrings and not to the derby.

His inspiration between the posts came from afar “My idol has been Arcornada,” whom he was lucky enough to meet. And as he himself admits, when he was in front of him “all the props come crashing down.”

Who knows if in another universe Jesulín would have lifted a Champions League trophy. It's not hard to imagine him greeting the Bernabéu with the cape in hand...
