Alser Puerto Sagunto strengthens its back line with Chernov

Danil Chernov completes the red-and-white squad for his third season in ASOBAL

 Danil Chernov (Astrakhan 1981) is the left back chosen to complete the red-and-white back line. At 200 cm and weighing 100 kg, Chernov is a complete player who defends as well as few others in ASOBAL and also possesses a powerful shot that will undoubtedly tie down opposing defences for the combination play of the rest of the Valencian team.

Chernov joins from BM Torrevieja, where he enjoyed a phenomenal season, being one of the architects of the excellent campaign by the now-disappeared elite side from the salt-producing region.

He arrived in Spain with Ademar León, where he competed in the Champions League for three seasons, primarily performing defensive duties. He joined the León team from the side in his native land, the historic Russian Dinamo Astrakhan, where he played for ten seasons, competing in Europe in every one of them. Chernov will be in Puerto Sagunto tomorrow, Tuesday, to accelerate his preparations with the rest of the squad.

Chernov’s signing strengthens the back line and rounds off a well-balanced team, in which the red-and-white club has placed great hopes of avoiding relegation. The task of converting a budget and squad from the silver division into a competitive ASOBAL team in just one month highlights the quality of the red-and-white club’s management.

The red-and-white board considers the squad complete, with current income—which is still incomplete as of today—being used to close 100% of the current red-and-white budget.

 The red-and-white team will therefore have the following players in the 2012–2013 ASOBAL League

Goalkeepers: David Bruixola and Samuel Ibáñez

Wings: Tarrasó, Berrios and Pocholo

 Pivots: Angel Fernandez, Iker Serrano and Mateo Castella

 Back-court players: Ruiz, Nebot, Latorre, Vallés and Chernov

 Alongside them, the academy players Ibrahim, Tello, Alegre, Roque, Del Rio, Calderon and Lluna will seek to earn minutes in the top tier of Spanish handball.
