The Spanish city of Valladolid - which is currently in euphoria after being promoted to the major leagues, will not forget and will not forget Sean Weissman.
Not only because the Israeli striker was a key screw in its success with 20 goals and three assists this season, but also because of something more important - his decision last year to stay on the team despite the hard blow and relegation to the second division.

Fossella Loisman's love was felt in the spontaneous celebrations on the grass after the win against Osaka, Almeria Blagens' draw, and most of all Aber's surprise loss at the modest Alcorcon.
The striker was at the center of the celebrations last night, wrapped in an Israeli flag, something unusual in a stadium in Spain.
Through social media one can understand the magnitude of the admiration of Valladolid fans for their Israeli.
A few weeks ago the club's account read in several tweets: "I declare I am Sean Sexual."
In the last hours after the ascent, when the fans in the hangover were sweet, the club wrote phrases like: "Sean is everyone's father Weissman", or: "I can not sleep, and with the sheep it does not work, so I will start counting Weissman's goals."
White and violet banners.
No need for more.

Many of the compliments this season come from Brazil, as Valladolid's landlord is football legend Ronaldo.
The Brazilian striker played a big part in the success, because of the money there and the absolute trust he gave in coach Pacheta - the same one who gave full confidence to Weissman, who always started in the squad when he was fit.

Professionally the key to the team this season was the attack.
Valladolid have scored the most goals in the second division this season.
Out of 71 conquests in 42 games, Weissman is listed on 20, without a single penalty - it is important to note.
The goal machine on offense, has managed to correct the mistakes in defense in some important games this season.
For example when she lost at home to Real Sociedad B, everything seemed lost, but Valladolid had faith, and she proved herself when she defeated direct rival Eibar in the Basque Country.
Although it continued to win the league, the team was not dependent on itself.
The stumbling block of the rivalry came at the right moment, when no one expected, because last night Valladolid had only a 26 percent chance of rising directly, and she took full advantage of them.

In this respect, too, Weissman's contribution is important, because fans of Nuevo Jose Syria appreciate his sacrifice and his belligerent attitude on every ball.
Although he is one of the stars of the group he works and runs as if he is a child who came up from youth.
Weissman's joy to go up directly is twofold, because following him he will be able to join the Israeli team.
After an amazing season, Weissman will have to convince new national team coach Alon Hazan that he has a place in the lineup.
There is a good chance that Valladolid will acquire pioneers in the summer, but in the meantime, and if there are no surprises, the number nine and its heart - belong to Sean Weissman.
