Silvia Pérez Gallego, practiced before -at school- judo and cross-country and, finally, “handball, because my brother had started the previous year and as I had seen it throughout the season (my brother’s matches and those of Inzamac ), so I decided to sign up for the following year.”
He continued combining sports and studies, until he got a degree in mathematics and, like any self-respecting Zamoran, he had to leave Zamora to be able to work, although in this case the trip was not very long and he settled in Valladolid, where he works in a company of the automotive industry, “in the Department of Motor Mechanical Production Engineering of Valladolid”.
“Perhaps we should have gotten a few more points that have escaped us; however, we will try to improve in the second round”, he says when I ask him about it. Against next Saturday’s rival -Ciudad de Salamanca- remember that “in the first leg we competed until the final minutes. I think that at home we can have some more options with our fans supporting us”, although later he admits that, apart from the fans, they have to make very tough defenses and have more efficiency than in the first leg in front of goal, if they want to win the game.
He has no doubts when pointing to Fuentes Carrionas as the best team in the category “because they have won all their games and last year they won the league.”
And, to finish, he names the player Marina González as the one who makes the difference; not in vain, the left winger of that team, “makes an average of 10 goals per game”. However, Silvia Pérez is in second place in that section, with 73 goals and an average of 7.3 per game.
Work, play handball, train… and he still has time to manage in lower categories, in this case, the female junior A, “but, also, the junior B and I am an assistant in the female cadet”. Speechless.
