The Brazilian couple is back from their injuries and they only think about returning from Antequera with another cup title
“The fight is also against ourselves”, highlighted Ferrao; “I really want the Cup,” said Dyego
Barça traveled to Antequera this Thursday, where will fight this weekend for his eighth Copa del Rey (He has won seven of the twelve disputed although he has resisted since 2020) with an intense duel of ‘semis’ tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. against Mallorca Palma Futsal. Before, at 12 noon, Jimbee Cartagena and Peñíscola Servigroup (Second Division) will meet.
Despite doubts that the team offered last Monday in the league duel in Jaén (2-2), the azulgrana team faces the event with great enthusiasm and no casualties after the recovery of Dyego and Ferrao, who confessed to SPORT in the Ciutat Esportiva.
Recovering from an Achilles tendon injury since late November, Ferrao goes to more and has already scored two goals since his return two weeks ago. “It is never easy to be injured and miss important games. He is already forgotten. I was looking forward to playing the finals and I am focused on helping the team as much as possible”, explained the center from Chapecó.
Dyego missed five weeks with a hamstring injury including the Spanish Cup) and returned with a goal overflow at three minutes a week ago against UMA Antequera. “I’m finally back after a while and I really want the Cup. Palma awaits us in the semifinals, a great team. It has always been very difficult against them. Hopefully we can be at our level to go to the final”, said the right wing from Palmitos.

Established in the elite for more than five years, the internationals with the ‘verdeamarelha’ are admired. “I could use the game behind him, turn as well as him. It would make life easier for me to be able to go both ways like now and know how to play with my back like him,” Dyego said. “I would like to have his dribble and his one on one. He is one of the best in the world there and yes, it would be good for me to have his dribbling & rdquor ;, said Ferrao.
Both agreed that excuses are no longer valid after being left out of the Final Four of the Champions League and falling into the ‘semis’ in the Spanish Cup. “We have missed some objectives and now the main one is the Copa del Rey. Let’s go all out. It’s not going to be easy, but we’re totally focused on this. We have already won the Super Cup and now we want the Copa del Rey and the league,” Dyego said..
“Two titles and important points in the league have already escaped us, but we are still the same winning team as last season. The mentality is the same and we know that it depends on us. If we play concentrated for 40 minutes it is very difficult to beat us. We have to go full throttle from the beginning, so the fight is against our rivals and against ourselves& rdquor ;, contributed Ferrao.

The one from Palmitos demands more of him and also asks more of the team. “We have already shown our potential, but the key is that we are at our best level. There is no room to be a little less intense, you have to go full throttle and If we offer our best version, the titles will surely come,” stressed the former Krona.
“We have things to correct, especially behind. You have to make fewer mistakes and receive fewer goals. We are very attacking and it is normal to have some weakness at the back, but we are working hard to solve it and if we succeed, we will do very well in the two goals we have left,” said the former Tyumen player.
