Paco Jemez lavishes praise on Alberto Bueno

Rayo Vallecano boss Paco Jemez has praised Alberto Bueno after the Spaniard continued his fine scoring form against Granada at the weekend.

Bueno's brace in Rayo's 3-1 victory moved him onto 15 league goals for the season, bringing his top-flight tally for the club to 26.

"I told [Alberto] to try finishing the season with more than 20 goals. When you have history in your hands, even with a humble team, you have to be courageous," Jemez told reporters.

"It's very hard to do what he's done. He's a player who fights [for every ball], and his teammates have helped him. I'm glad to be coaching a player who would fit in many of the top teams. We'll soon see him at one."

A number of European clubs are said to be monitoring the former Real Madrid youngster.
