The players distribute brochures, sign autographs and share a moment of futsal with the citizens, in the heart of the historic center
The Jimbee Cartagena expects a great atmosphere in the final this Saturday (Palacio de Deportes, 6:30 p.m.) against Barcelona, where second place in the regular league is at stake. The thousand subscribers of the club have until tomorrow, Friday, to collect tickets at 5 euros; so far 400 have already been shipped in this special promotion. To make the importance of the event visible, players and coaching staff have signed autographs, given away shirts and shared in the historic center.
Cartagena’s futsal depends on itself to finish the regular season in second position. This is important, since the club would face the ‘playoffs’ for the League title with a double advantage: they would play the decisive match at home and would qualify for the next round in the event of a tie after extra time. The quarterfinals are two-legged and start next Tuesday or Wednesday, it remains to be seen whether at the Palace or at home.
The club is aware that everything depends on this Saturday. For this reason, this Thursday afternoon, players and coaching staff shared a pleasant time with the public. The Jimbee has set up a tent, signed autographs and marked out a small playing field next to the Icue, so that the little ones can play futsal with Mellado, Solano, Bebe, Luçao and company.
«Tension, seriousness and strength»
“Barcelona comes without pressure [ya es matemáticamente campeón de la liga regular, y piensa en el ‘playoff’], but we can not get carried away by that. In theory it is a training match for them, but they always compete and we must come out with tension, seriousness and strength, “Luçao, the team’s top scorer with 14 goals, told THE TRUTH.
The Brazilian is going through a moment of great confidence, determination and joy in his game. «I feel very good, being very constant, and I hope I continue at this level until the final of the League title. Tactics are important, but I like to dribble, attack, and we can’t lose that essence in futsal”. Luçao has a contract until 2023.
