SD Ponferradina striker Yuri de Souza has been presented with the 'Best American Player in the 2013-14 Liga Adelante' award at the '2014 LFP Awards Ceremony' beating Germán Lux (RC Deportivo) and Uli Dávila (Córdoba CF) in the voting.
The Brazilian Yuri was, without a doubt, the star of Ponferradina last season. His 12 goals in 37 matches speak volumes of his contribution to a team that sealed their place in the division before the climax of the championship. In addition, the Brazilian was the top goal-scorer for the team trained by Claudio Barragán, something he has achieved in his previous five years with the club.
As well as goals, the Portuguese-Brazilian player brings dynamism and versatility to the attack, as he can play in the centre, on the wing or as a second striker.
"I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me. Also my teammates at
Ponferradina and my parents. Thank you very much."
