Tabloids and fans call Paco Alcacera a football genius. Having started his career at the age of 17, after 2 years he becomes the most European champion and the best young player in the football club Valencia.
Biography
Francisco Paco Alcacer Garcia was born on August 30, 1993 in the Spanish city of Torrent, which is part of the province of Valencia. Inma Garcia and Paco Alcacer's family, besides him, had two more children - Jorge Alcacer and Marta Alcacer.
The family of the future football star belonged to the middle class and was engaged in farming. The shy and calm Paco Alcacer did not share the interests of his father, who wanted the children to continue the family business, and did not want to associate his life with the farm and agriculture. This was also facilitated by a passion for football from early childhood. It was his unrelenting interest and ability at an early age in this sport that pushed his parents to give up trying to make him a farmer. Instead, they put their son on the list of the local football club Monte Sion in their native Torrent.
Young Paco Alcacer idolized Spanish and Brazilian footballers Raul Gonzalez and Ronaldo de Lima. He strove to be like them and adopted the style of playing "to be at the right time in the right place", applying the strongest and most successful moments of famous idols in his tournaments and matches, which allowed him to later achieve the title of champion and football genius.
