“What about Sergio Leon?” became the question of the month in January, when Pacheta decided leave him several times out of eleven of Real Valladolid. Apart from the first game of the year due to COVID, on his return he saw the doors from closed ownership for several days, more than many expected. However, she discreetly waited for his opportunity, to the point of praise christyour competition, a few days ago, and give for good even his substitutiongiven that the objective of promotion is above any individual.
However, the award for humility was not long in coming; It came to him just three days after talking about “respect for colleagues” and the “family” in which he has convertedin his opinion, the purple and white wardrobe. Just three days later he converted a ‘hat-trick’ against Amorebieta, which succumbed, to a great extent, thanks to its ‘roars’. Thanks to a stubborn, he did the 1-0. When his team was worse off, he scored the 3-1 with a strong distant shot, culminating in a magical drive. The judgment it was yours also, with another right hand from the crescent of the area.
In a single afternoon he doubled his goalscoring account as a Pucela player, where arrived last summer after everyone’s insistence; that of the club to be done for his services, changing at the last minute to ‘the panther’ Sekou for a Sergio León on whom there were doubts initially, after three seasons with almost no participation, the first at Betis and the next two at Levante. The resolved soon with his good football and with the great partnership he formed with Weissman since they started playing together, improving the performance of the Hebrew.
Even though did not see the door until the tenth day, against the Basque team showed that the trade is something that one does not forget, that the one who had a goal keeps it. At just 33 years old, as he said in an interview with AS, is being happy again and reuniting with the punta that was, that became top scorer from category in the 2015-16 seasonin which, in the ranks of Elche, under the command of a man from Valladolid, Ruben Barajareached the 22 goalswhich made him earn the jump to a First Division where he was also productive.
Gone are those times… or not so much. That will think in his interior, although the verb is humble. What can still score goals in the elite, the one that wants to step back into the ranks of Real Valladolid and that in the end of the winter market was able to welcome him back. There was no room for a change of club. His happiness, at least until the end of the season, which is when he expires his contract as a blanquivioleta, goes through José Zorrilla. One that roared at him three times and sent him away with a well deserved ovation this Sunday.
