ElPozo hosts Barça in the first game of the quarter-finals with the controversial final of the Spanish Cup that the azulgranas won in memory
Even harder for ElPozo. Tonight, he will host Barça de los Ferrao, Pito, Sergio Lozano and Adolfo, a group of futsal stars who arrive in Murcia to put title poker on the right track after winning the Super Cup, the Spanish Cup and the UEFA Champions League .
ElPozo-Barça is a clash that Murcia loves and it looks like the Palacio de los Deportes will have a good start. In memory of many fans, the final of the Cup of Spain will be played between Murcia and Catalans on April 3 [3-3]which was resolved after a long penalty shootout in which Giustozzi’s team were crowned champions, but the revision of a maximum penalty, which had to be repeated, gave the Barça team the victory.
Unlike previous seasons, and due to dates, the format of the league title ‘play-off’ has changed and the quarter-finals will be played in two ways. Barca, champions of the regular phase, have an advantage as they will play the return leg at home and, in the event of a draw, would advance through the round without resorting to sanctions.
Velasco, the Barça coach, brings Marcenio back for the game against Murcia, so Barça arrive at the Palacio de Deportes with the thirteen available first-team players plus reserve Víctor Pérez. Pito, an ex of ElPozo, was clear yesterday before leaving for Murcia: «We all started over. It is true that we have the court factor, but we need to be focused from the start or someone will complicate your life. His partner Dyego also said that “we need to know how to manage this change of format. The first match is very important and we must not lose our heads, whatever the result, because the draw will eventually be decided in the Palau» .
ElPozo, a team that Vinicius is preparing and directing by Giustozzi, has had a few quiet days after qualifying for the ‘playoff’ on the final day. Players like Gadeia, Fernando or Rafa Santos are restoring their physical tone, while Taynan is still sanctioned and Molina is recovering, so the squad will once again welcome players from the academy such as Gabarrón, Juanico and Javi Roni.
Brazil’s Gadeia appeared at a press conference yesterday and avoided talking about revenge. “We want to play matches like this, it’s true that the leader comes, but in these matches we have to show the team that we are there. We want to compete against Barca because, like we did in the final of the Spanish Cup have shown, can compete at their level.”
As for his physical condition, the winger made it clear that he has recovered. In this regard, he said: “I would never miss this game, but the truth is that I felt fine in Santa Coloma recently. I am ready to play against Barca.”
Vinicius, who has recently been the one attending the press conferences ahead of the ElPozo games, was calm yesterday, saying that “after qualifying for the ‘play-off’ we took a lot of weight off us, but now everything is otherwise. Since it’s a round trip, you’re less likely to fail. We had never played with these rules and we don’t know how to deal with them, but we’ll see what happens.
Giustozzi’s second did not want to remember the controversial final of the last Spanish Cup that ElPozo lost on penalties against Barça in a match he had won and lost when he had to repeat a shot that had stopped Juanjo. “That has already been forgotten. This is another competition, a new competition and we cannot live on revenge and past events that lead nowhere. We have to work the way we work and with the inclusion of players like Darío or the already clear recovery of Rafa Santos, Gadeia and Fernando, in order to compete face-to-face with Barca.”
ElPozo Murcia wanted to give the game a new color and set the tickets that were bought ‘online’ at 5 euros, the [de 0 a 16 años]while the adult version costs 10. They are currently for sale at the cash register for the single price of 13 euros.
ElPozo has also reached an agreement with Real Murcia so that those Grana club members who want to buy a ticket can buy one for 5 euros, on presentation of the club card, in the official stadium shop of Enrique Roca. Before the game, there will be a tribute to Alhama Féminas for their promotion to the Iberdrola League.
