As a child, Alcacer was an introvert and the quiet one in the house. He shared a very close relationship with his father who envisioned his son to be like him- a farmer. Since his family was predominantly farmers, there was no crime for a father to wish his grows to take up after him.
On the contrary, the boy had something else in mind, he wanted to do something different. So, football was his escape from becoming a farmer like his dad.
The renewed interest and commitment he showed made his parents reconsider their decision of forcing the boy into farming. They instead enrolled him into Monte-Sion, a local soccer side in Torrent.
This marked the beginning of a journey that would pay off for Alcacer and his parents. His hunger for hitting the back of the net even in his early years proved what he knows about his onions as a striker.
