Diego Barri promoted to Second Division

Our outstanding soccer player of the Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, Diego “Barri” Hernández Barriuso (19/09/1995), achieved this past weekend the promotion to Second Division with his club, after a season to mark.

The midfielder from Salamanca has been a key player in the coach’s schemes, playing 36 games and totaling 2028 minutes. In addition, he has contributed to the promotion with 3 goals and an assist.

A player with experience in the Second Division, “Barri” is a player with an imposing physique. His almost 190 cm of height, his great aerobic capacity to repeat efforts and his enormous technical quality make him one of the most outstanding players of the category.

He is capable of distributing the game with great criteria and of stealing many balls thanks to his sacrifice and dedication during the 90 minutes, as well as his great physical capacity. In addition, he has a very good arrival to the opponent’s area, and his 3 goals are a good example of this. He has an excellent shot from outside the area, which represents a constant threat for the opponent.

At 29 years of age and with the experience he possesses, he has achieved a promotion of great merit, as they have been in first place since the first day of the league.

We are in front of a player capable of playing in all game systems, thanks to his intelligence on the field and his great command of the ball with his feet. The brilliant player from Salamanca is a player who is very difficult to take the ball away from and who breaks lines thanks to his power in driving.

In León he has already shown the great class that he possesses these last two seasons, and finally, this year he has put the finishing touch with this long-awaited promotion.
