The Journey Home: A Footballer’s Return to His Hometown Team

‘El País Semanal’ accompanies the footballer born in the humble Monelos neighborhood of A Coruña for 48 hours and reviews his round trip. A journey that has taken him through different leagues in Europe: Ukraine, Greece, England, to end up with Cádiz, a team from the Spanish First Division. Earlier this year, Lucas made the decision to return home to his hometown team. The fact that ‘Dépor’ currently plays in Primera REF, formerly 2nd B, was not an impediment for ‘O Neno’, who paid part of his termination clause and gave up a high token for his happiness, for being in his city, for helping to Deportivo and for trying to experience the long-awaited promotion with his fans. In the video that leads this news, Lucas Pérez meets his neighbors, the building in which he grew up, his stadium or the streets of the city that treats him like a hero.
