Playing in River is the dream of the kid for all the members of Marcelo Gallardo’s team, but knowing Disney World must be the dream of most of the boys on the planet. So, This Sunday the players of the Núñez club who are in preseason in Orlando will take advantage of the first day off of the demanding preparation for the second semester of the year to visit the Parks and Studios of the largest and most wonderful entertainment complex in the world. Although many of the footballers will opt for a quieter option: a shopping trip through the malls.
Until now, the campus only had a dispersion time after arrival in Florida and the sports rest after vaccination against Covid-19. But as of Monday The Doll team worked in a hyper intense way (in double and even triple shift) until this Saturday. So, before facing the last week of preseason, the coach decided that the entire delegation, made up of 26 footballers plus coaching staff and assistants, can enjoy the four Disney parks and the multiple games that are in each of them ( Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom Park and Epcot).
