Roberto Batres Díaz (born 8 January 1986) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a forward.
Football career
Born in Madrid, Batres joined Atlético Madrid's youth ranks at the age of 10. After one season with the C-team in Tercera División, he went on to represent the reserves for the following six years, in Segunda División B, scoring nine goals in only 15 games in the 2007–08 campaign.
In July 2009 Batres was loaned to Albacete Balompié on a six-month deal, but failed to make an impact at the Segunda División club, playing just 16 minutes in a 0–0 home draw against Real Sociedad.[1] In January of the following year, in the same predicament, he joined Chinese team Shanghai Shenhua F.C. until the end of the season; however, he suffered a serious knee injury and returned to Madrid for surgery and rehabilitation.
In early December 2010, Batres returned to action for Atlético B.[2] In late August 2011 he left the Colchoneros and signed for CD Alcoyano, freshly promoted to the second level.[3]
After only playing 289 minutes in the first half of 2011–12, being fired in late December for comments made on Facebook in which he implied he would not return to the team if he won the lottery,[4] Batres moved to the Netherlands and signed with AGOVV Apeldoorn on 31 January 2012.[5] However, he failed to make a single appearance for his new club and returned to his country, joining CD Leganés in the third level.[6]
