Found by OWTY, Adam Ozeri, US-born and raised, has been with Racing de Avellanada in Argentina since March 2015. Looks like he is also Israeli and Argentine (basing on his presence in the country) and has gotten into an Israeli camp as well as a US training center. He's a 1998. http://owhentheyanks.com/2015/05/08/new-jersey-teen-racing-in-argentina/ http://soccerstages.wospac.com/adam-ozeri-moves-inside-the-us-national-soccer-team/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/aozeri/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/aozeri
New Jersey native and former @mnhtnkickersfc MF Adam Ozeri has signed a pro contract with CA Banfield in Argentina. pic.twitter.com/Y6e33caw8e— Nats Abroad (@Nats_Abroad) June 10, 2016
Looks like he is playing for a youth team that plays in the "Quinta Division." http://clubabanfield.org/inicio/fut...vena-fecha-banfield-enfrento-a-independiente/ Although there is no date on that article.
It's a little confusing. Although there is a 5th Division in Argentina (Called Primera D) this designation refers to the second level of the youth ranks, or "divisiones inferiores." The ranks are 4th - U20s 5th - U18s 6th - U17s and so on down to ninth. I agree it is frustrating that they don't put dates on the articles (Boca doesn't either) but this match was at the end of July.
No problem. That squad list was from matchday 9 (of the Copa Campeonato). They just played 13 last weekend and they go to 19, so it should be the same squad listing throughout.

Another article in the Peruvian press: 774331714869002240 is not a valid tweet id Alianza Lima espera a su refuerzo: ¿cuándo llega el estadounidense Adam Ozeri? Adam Ozeri, juvenil de la categoría 1998 de Estados Unidos, e convirtió en nuevo jugador de Alianza Lima. 9/9/2016 Alianza Lima awaits its reinforcement: When will the American Adam Ozeri arrive? Adam Ozeri, 1998 age group for the US, has become Alianza Lima's newest player. snip translated: Next week he will arrive in our country and join the reserve side. Who is Ozeri? He is a young footballer who has travelled much despite his young age. At the age of 18, he has played in different parts of the world, since he not only played in junior divisions in his native country but also in Europe. He has played with teams such as Chelsea in England and different Spanish clubs. Neverthelss, last season, he reached an agreement with Banfield of Argentina (he also passed by Racing) and trained with the reserve all year. Additionally, he practiced with the first team on a recurring basis. If that is not enough, he received a call-up from the USA in the U-18 category and currently he is on a tour of Europe before joining Alianza Lima. ---------------------------------- We've got nothing on the Peruvian hype train
My Colombian wife would flay me with an oyster knife and play pan flutes at my funeral if I ever supported a Peruvian side.
Lima press is really keeping track of this kid. Hyping the hell out of him too. http://elbocon.pe/futbol-peruano/descentralizado/alianza-lima-adam-ozeri-llego-anoche-a-lima-131562/ http://depor.com/futbol-peruano/ali...e-adam-ozeri-llego-lima-como-refuerzo-1080095 http://peru.com/futbol/descentralizado/alianza-lima-quien-adam-ozeri-y-que-juega-noticia-474725 http://elbocon.pe/futbol-peruano/alianza-lima-quien-es-y-como-juega-el-jale-adam-ozeri-130749/ Most of these are just reporting that he arrived in Lima on Wednesday and is the last reinforcement for Alianza for the rest of the season. The last article has some new info I hadn't seen about his time in Spain with cadetes. It also says he was at a camp in Europe for the U-19s before arriving in Peru. Adam Ozeri jugó en el Cadete E de la U.E. Cornellà de Cataluña y donde la 'rompió'. El volante fue el máximo anotador de su equipo hace dos temporadas, lo que demuestra que pisa mucho el área rival, consiguiendo marcar 24 goles y ser campeón del Grupo 28 de 2ª División Cadete, lo que le valió ser convocado a selección de Estados Unidos donde es habitual. Adam Ozeri played in Cadete E for UE Conellà de Catalunya where he [starred, or alternatively, busted his cherry..I'm not great with Peruvian slang.] The midfielder was the leading scorer for his team over two seasons, which shows he spends a lot of time in the attacking third, scoring 24 goals and leading his team to be champions of Group 28 of the 2nd Cadet Division. This merited him a call up by the United States.
This is probably referring to the Stevan Vilotic Cele tournament which ended 5 Sep. So a little poetic license was employed.
Trained with the 1st team at Alianza Lima today. snip: En diálogo con ovacion.pe, Ozeri señaló que "el 'profe' dela Reserva me comunicó que hoy trabajaría con el primer equipo y realmente me sentí muy cómodo en los entrenamientos que fueron muy intensos. El grupo me recibió de la mejor manera y yo estoy tranquilo, porque todo esto forma parte de mi proceso de aprendizaje. Sé que el equipo viaja para jugar su partido ante Comerciantes Unidos y no sé si seguiré entrenando con el primer equpo o paso a Reservas", dijo Ozeri. In an interview with ovacion.pe, Ozeri said that "the 'professor' of the Reserves told me today that I would work with the first team and actually I felt very comfortable in the training sessions which were very intense. The group accepted me very well and I'm happy, because this is all part of my learning process. I know that the team travels to play its match against Comerciantes Unidos and I don't know if I will keep taining with the first team or go back to the reserves," said Ozeri. http://ovacion.pe/alianza-lima/estadounidense-ozeri-entreno-hoy-con-primer-equipo-alianza
Called into camp with the U19s: http://www.ussoccer.com/stories/201...ls-19-players-for-final-training-camp-of-2016
I had missed that he'd also played some youth soccer in Spain, where he (if I understand that article correctly) appears to have scored a bunch of goals. One thing worth watching is what seems to be a bit of a foreigner crunch in Lima.
