Wednesday Training Session & A Visit To The Kids

The team continued their Valladolid prep. Good news: Ferland Mendy finished his recovery program and joined the team for part of the session.

Prep For Valladolid Continues

Yes, I still exist! This was the first pre-season I haven’t covered in 8 years – I wanted to but I just couldn’t. I’ve been in the midst of classes, freelance work, job hunting and just getting my life together in general.

The Daily Drool: Iván López Álvarez (Ivi)

Forward Ivi has just joined Real Valladolid on loan from Levante.

The Daily Drool: Albano Bizzarri

Goalkeeper Albano has been playing for Serie A side Lazio since 2009. He played for Real Madrid from 1999-2000 but due to an 18 year old Iker Casillas’ emergence as the favorite,  he found himself battling for second choice with Bodo Ilgner  and he moved on to Real Valladolid. Although he was a member of Argentina’s 1999 final Copa America squad, he was never capped for his country. He kinda looks like AVB, don’t you think?

The Daily Drool: Víctor Pérez Alonso

Midfielder Víctor Pérez Alonso plays for La Liga side Real Valladolid since 2011. Doesn’t he have lovely eyes?
