Pino Discusses Adapting to Crystal Palace, South London, and the Premier League
The 22-year-old footballer has made significant strides since moving to the Premier League from La Liga. Transferring from Villarreal, where he rose to prominence, he is now adapting to his new environment at Crystal Palace in South London.

During the recent international break, he continued his positive momentum by scoring for Spain in their match against Georgia. Pino has expressed enthusiasm about his new adventure in London.
