Spaniards around the world: the five best stories of the weekend

Sergi Escobar, one step away from making it all worthwhile. Sergi Escobar from Castellón, assistant to Juan Cruz Real in América de Cali, made it to the final of the Apertura in Colombia. The 'red devils' defeated Junior 1-2, who was worn out after competing in the Copa Sudamericana and, in addition, had some casualties due to Covid-19. America also could not count on one of its best men, Duván Vergara, but it did enjoy the seniority and leadership of Adrián Ramos. The former Granada player scored and attended, which led him to be chosen MVP of the match. Sergi Escobar has been away from his family for several months. Her second child was born last November and she still doesn't know him. That is why this final, which will measure up to Club Independiente de Santa Fe, will make their sacrifice worthwhile. The sports director of the 'red devils' is also Spanish Álvaro Rius.

Natxo González, sixth Spanish coach in Bolívar. Marcelo Claure, president of Bolívar, announced that he was working on “defining a game model to turn the club into a champion with international aspirations” and appointed Natxo González as the team's new coach. The Basque will become the sixth Spaniard to occupy the Bolívar bench after Xabier Azkargorta, Antonio López Habas, Beñat San José, Julián Rubio and Miguel Ángel Portugal. “He is a coach with a long history with the ambition to lead a sports project that Libertadores seeks,” added Claure, who also announced the hiring of Íñigo San Millán as director of performance and performance: “He will develop methodologies with data in the areas of medicine sports, nutrition, physical preparation, prevention and rehabilitation of injuries “.

Fran González, an undefeated year. It has been more than a year since the last defeat of Fran González. It was on December 8, 2019, when Mohun Bagan fell at home (2-4) against Churchill Brothers. Since then, González has not known defeat. He had a 14-game unbeaten streak that led his former team, Mohun Bagan, to conquer the I-League to put the finishing touch on 130 years of history. The club later merged with ATK and Fran González signed for Bengaluru, where he has scored three draws and two wins at the start of the Indian Super League. “I hope to continue like this,” Beard wrote on his official Twitter account.

Goal poker in Gibraltar. Last weekend Europa FC and St. Joseph's imposed their law on the Gibraltarian Premier League. The first ones thrashed 0-9 at Manchester 62, a match in which the scoring ability of Adrián Gallardo from Cádiz stood out, who scored four goals. Juanlu (2), Álex Quillo, and Juampe completed the quota of so many Spaniards. The Spanish 'Armada' of St. Joseph's was also the protagonist. The Malaga Ángel Guirado signed a poker, Boro scored three goals, Juanfri converted two and Carlos Carrasco one. Europa FC is the leader with 19 points and St. Joseph's, which has one game less, follows with 16 points.

Victor Mongil: where he goes, he succeeds. The Valladolid center-back achieved his third consecutive league championship after winning the Georgia First Division with Dinamo Tbilisi. Mongil already won the Georgian league last season, from where he sailed to India to compete in the Super League with ATK. He also won it, and later rejoined Dinamo Tiflis, who turned to Xisco Muñoz after the resignation of Kaja Chjetiani, who failed in the previous phase of the Champions League. Together they led Dinamo Tiflis to revalidate the Erovnuli Liga title, something that had not happened since the 2013/14 season. Along with them the Asturian forward Carlos Castro, the assistant Roberto Cuesta and the physical trainer Jordi Abellà.
