Palacín captivates the United States with his football

About 20 years ago, there were a few young Ribera who traveled to the United States to study at university thanks to their athletic abilities. One of them was David Sinkermes from Montreux. Currently, thanks to companies such as Eture Sports, which was founded by former UD player Alzira Jaime Miralles after his experience in the North American country, the path is being opened for young people from the region to join the Americas. At Presbyterian College, located in Clinton, South Carolina, Voro Rivera studies Journalism (English Communication and Media Studies: Journalism) while being a fixture for his coach. Javier García was named Team Offensive Player of the Year at Franklin Pierce University in Rindge (Boston) and made the perfect team for the University Division II while studying for his MBA Sports. Another Alzireño, Javito Llinares, studies psychology at Troy University (Alabama) and his team placed third. In addition, he has been nominated for All Conference (One of the Best Tennis Players of the Conference) and “Player You See” (Most Attractive Player). Alcudiano Roberto Fernández was the Golden Boot with Milligan Buffs, who was selected by coaches on the perfect “Scholar All American team” and played in the NCAA Division I with the Bowling Green Falcons while studying for an MBA.

Beached came to the United States in the summer of 2020 to study and play in North Carolina. “I was looking for a climate similar to that of Valencia and now there has been a radical change.” At first he struggled because, despite being an athletic attacker, “his physical fitness is the most effective aspect and it was very difficult for me to adapt.” At the end of the course, he returned to Alzira and played for the Tavernes in the final stage of the league and promotion. In August he joined SIUE “Because the universities here work like clubs. To sign you, they pay for your studies and I saw it was a good opportunity even if it was downtown with the cold and snow.” If the American adventure doesn’t have a happy ending, Alzireño isn’t ruling out a return to Alzira, “where I’m so excited to wear the Blaugrana costume again.”
