Carlos Cuéllar will play on Israel's Premier League this Sunday at 19.00 for the first time in his life. The 'madrileño's' new team, Maccabi Petah Tikva, will confront Beitar Jerusalem in the first game-week of the season. Carlos is already into the group's dynamics so he will be able to debut at an official match.
For the centreback playing in Israel will be an interesting challenge to add to his large career. In Spain Cuéllar played in First Division (Osasuna) and Second Division (Numancia and Almería). In England he played in the Premier League at Aston Villa and Sunderland, and played Championship at Norwich. Also, he spent a year in Scotland at the Rangers. Now, his signing for Maccabi Petah Tikva will let him play his sixth League competition.
At the orders of Kobi Refua, Carlos expects to help the team to get to the first positions of the ranking. Waiting for his debut, the centreback published on his social networks how happy he is after playing some minutes during a friendly match in the coaching session.
