Marcelo Flores is the Mexican jewel that shines the most in soccer in these moments. Just a week ago the young man of 18 years scored for Chelsea sub-21 in the English Football League Trophy, and this Tuesday the skilled Mexican shone with a brace in Arsenal’s win over Bournemouth (4-0) in the Premier League 2.
Flores started as the starter and played the entire match. It was his first start in this competition, which brings together the main sub-23 teams in England. Words more, words less, is the last step before receiving an opportunity with the professional team .
The Mexican midfielder did not take long to be noticed in this duel: at minute 2 ‘he opened the account after taking advantage of a series of rebounds and definition in a very intelligent way inside the area with a touch given with the outer edge of his left foot.

“Chelo” culminated his excellent match scoring with the other foot, the right, defining again in a crossed way when there were 10 minutes left to the end of the match.
He celebrated it in a big way, taking a quick turn in the air.
Even when it comes to celebrating, young Flores shines, who has not yet officially debuted with El Tri, but it seems to be a matter of time before do so, especially when teams like Canada and England could try to “steal” the jewel.
