Friendly, proud to be from Alicante, hopelessly happy. Pure competitor, thoughtful, generous, very friendly with friends, intimate with the rest of the world. Dreamy, brave, comfortable in town, Crevillente, red and white flag, eternal captain. He’s been through absolutely everything as a football player, victory and heartbreak. Now, in another very sharp decision, Juanfran Torres has decided to insist on helping a small club rise to the top; it means being humble, natural, and outspoken inside shows that you can accomplish whatever you decide to do without getting down on their neck. His team, Intercity, will debut in the third category in a week. Four promotions in five years, each important, but all-changing, starting in seven days.

How do you personally evaluate the preparation of the team?

A very positive assessment. We had to improve the roster significantly because the level in First RFEF is much stronger and all the players fit in very well. We have the tools and I totally trust the coaching team to be among the best in the team and we can achieve the goal we’ve all dreamed of.
