Last season he demonstrated all his potential throughout the 34 days in which he wore the shirt of the Palma team, while in this one, with one more year of experience and with an impressive physique, he is making it clear that he is one of the best players in the Adecco Oro League.

Furthermore, apart from a great team, we currently have an excellent coach who has taken us to where we are right now, so I take the season as a learning period .
Last Friday, Paco García, Ourense coach, praised the game that the blue and white team has been playing at a press conference.

Those of us who were here last year already know what the league is about and the need to continue improving, since right now all the teams are looking for their identity and as the days go by they will also improve.
