Leo Querin to remain at Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto for another year in 2020–2021

Another key player who will remain at Puerto Sagunto for another year is Leo Querin, who has proved in recent seasons to be essential both defensively and offensively.

The veteran Italian-Argentine player tells us how he is experiencing the situation: “I have been training at home. The first few weeks were difficult, but I managed to get some sports equipment—a bicycle, weights, …—so I have been able to train quite well and make lockdown a little more bearable”

Regarding his renewal: “I am very happy. I have been here at Puerto for three years now, where I feel very comfortable, and the truth is that I wanted to continue. Above all because, although when the league ended we were in survival positions and were happy to achieve that, I was still left with a bitter taste at not being able to finish it.”

“Next year will be very difficult for many teams, as handball was already not in a very good financial position, and now this crisis will lead to the loss of many sponsors and sources of support. We hope to build a good team, achieve survival and, if things go well, perhaps aim a little higher”, he reflects on the year ahead.

Regarding Bruixola’s departure, “It is a very important loss for us. At the beginning of last year we missed him during the first few matchdays, but if I have to take a step forward in the team captaincy, I am willing to take it on”, it should be noted that Leo was the team’s vice-captain last year.

To conclude, Leo wanted to send a message to the supporters: “It is true that the supporters are very important to us because we won many home matches thanks to them, but it is still uncertain how the championship will begin. I would like this to be overcome and for us to be able to start with supporters in the stands at home, as the public in Puerto is very important and the team feels it when they are present. Ideally, we would begin with supporters, but if we cannot start with them, they will surely give us strength in some way. But if it is not possible, everyone will begin in the same situation. I encourage everyone to take care of themselves so that we can get out of this difficult situation we are experiencing, and hope that things improve.”

With Leo’s renewal, next year’s squad continues to take shape, and there will surely be many more updates soon.
