 After seeing Pablo work with the first @-@ team squad during pre @-@ season training , coach César Ferrando was quoted as saying he would pick Pablo and ten others for the coming campaign . He was as good as his word : Pablo made his Segunda División debut in a 1 – 1 draw away to Terrassa on 31 August 2002 , and went on to start 38 of Albacete 's 42 matches as they finished the season in third place and were promoted to La Liga . After only a few second @-@ tier matches , he had made sufficient impact to attract interest from clubs both domestic and foreign and receive a call @-@ up to the Spanish under @-@ 21 team for a friendly match against Bulgaria .
