A practice in world football that is repeated in various teams due to its almost guaranteed success is to use footballers who were born in other latitudes but have ancestors from the country they want to strengthen. This is the case of Yiandro Ricardo Raap Macedo, born in Hoek Van Holland, Netherlands, but his father is from Curaçao and his Venezuelan mother. The latter allows you to be part of Vinotinto.

In the Venezuelan football team’s recent campaign in the Indonesia U-17 World Cup, One of the players who stood out the most was Yiandro, who showed off his European training. Born on July 25, 2006, He started his career at a very young age HCV10 from his home country and then played football for Gravenzande, ADO Den Hagto finally come to terms with this only 14 years to historic Feyenoord.
All of this made other big teams like Ajax pay attention to his potential, but he ended up signing with another giant in the country: PSV Eindhoven.
