You can participate in the Albacete shirt draw on our Instagram: /offsiders.podcast In today's episode we are joined by Leganés player Álvaro Rodríguez, currently at Albacete Balompié in the Spanish Second Division. After playing for different Madrid clubs during his youth, our guest goes through all the categories of modest football with the desire and hope of one day becoming a professional player. What does it mean for Álvaro Rodríguez to be a professional player? Something he would achieve years later, initially in teams like Alcorcón or Rayo Majadahonda and later in historic clubs such as Real Murcia, Burgos and Albacete, among many others. Thank you Álvaro for this time that you have given us, a clear example that it is not necessary to start from a great youth team to be able to fulfill the dream of becoming a professional footballer, but always hand in hand with values such as effort, commitment and responsibility.
