Up to eight footballers from Alevín A of Espanyol have played together since prebenjamines
The blue and white team is already in the semifinals of LaLiga Promises International
One of the stories of LaLiga Promises International is that of the ‘family’ of Espanyol. Alevín A, current champion of Group 2 of the Preferente Catalana, the Catalunya Cup and the MIC, has a secret to its success and that is that up to eight players of the 12 that make up the team have played together since they were prebenjamin. And others who joined the group also a long time ago.
friendship between Thiago, Joan, Biel, Arnau S, Minguk, Ferran, Chacón and Gerard Solsona, plus Nil, that was added in benjamines, is practically half-lived and this translates into good results on the field. The good harmony is key and favors that the team has only lost three games in all the year.
This, as their coach, Marc Olivet, who also directed the same boys in Benjamin A, explained to us, is the key: “There is a very compact block. They know each other very well and the relations between them are exceptional.“.
In addition, he valued his attitude very positively when it came to receiving new teammates: “The block is done and the adaptation is quick and good.” In fact, he highlighted the entry of Nil, Vizcaino and Daehan, the latter brother of Minguk, so I already knew them, and Pol, the last to arrive. “I knew them less, but the adaptation has been brutal.”
a new stage
At the beginning of the following course, this group will have to face the challenge of going from football 7 to 11. On this, he stressed that: “We have not talked about next year, but it is true that we did a soccer tournament in february 11 And with the new players that joined the group, at the moment they were all mixed”.
This is how Espanyol is managing a generation of exceptional footballers wonderfully and, above all, friends who bet hard to achieve everything both on and off the field.
