The arrival of Alexander Callens to Girona FC has brought back some good memories to the Peruvian national team fans. The reason? Chemo, Rebosio, Acasiete, Abram, four national names that were present as central defenders in LaLiga Spain. Although Luis Abram was the most recent and did not have the best performance (only 8 matches in the 2021-2022 season with Granada), one of the most successful was Miguel Rebosio, who played for Real Zaragoza (2000-04) and UD Almeria (2005) and won the Copa del Rey twice.
