Jesus Velasco summarizes the plague of injuries afflicting Barça, envisioning a potential future movie depicting their current season. Despite the absence of key players, the team leads the Spanish Cup as favorites. The coach hopes to regain Adolfo Fernández and star player Jean Pierre Guisel Costa, nicknamed Whistl. Who struggles with pubalgia and is carefully managed by the club. After a narrow victory against Palma Futsal and maintaining the lead with only eight first-team players, the coach expressed satisfaction with the group’s efforts but acknowledges the challenges of playing under such circumstances.
Barça, already securing a spot in the UEFA Futsal Champions League Final Four, suffered setbacks in 2024, losing the Spanish Super Cup final and being eliminated from the Copa del Rey. Despite the urgency to claim their first title of the season, Velasco emphasizes that success requires more than just the club’s emblem; it demands the commitment of the players, who are currently scarce due to injuries.
March has been particularly challenging for the culé squad, with defeats against ElPozo Murcia Costa Calida and Jaén Paraíso Interior. Injuries have further plagued the team, with Sergio González and Sergio Lozano both sidelined. As the team faces Cartagena without key players, they rely on unity and determination, with Miquel Feixas rallying the remaining squad members.
Velasco has turned to the second team for reinforcements, albeit facing their own injury woes. Only three players from the Second Division team can be summoned, including Mamadou Touré, Harrison Santos, and Pol Cano. Meanwhile, Jordi Torras, the Barça Team Manager, continues preparations for the next season, considering signings to compensate for the current injuries and outgoing players.
