‘It’s like the League of Kings’ | Relief

Five months later, with the World Cup in Uzbekistan in the middle, the First Division started, and did so in the dark due to its low influence in the media and criticism of the leadership of the RFEF National Futsal Committee, chaired by José Miguel of Murcia. . Monk. The big surprise of the first day was Industrias García, who defeated Palma in futsal (4-2). After the victory of the Santa Coloma team – the dean of top competition, whose foundation dates back to 1975 – over the two-time champions of the UEFA Futsal Champions League, its coach Javi Closas did not hesitate to sharply criticize the rule change and the preparation of the calendar for the 2024-2025 season.

The Catalan coach assured that “this season is only for leaders who sit on the couch and invent the calendar.” It will be a very busy schedule. Matches during the week, Copa del Rey during the week. Let’s see how far we can go.” Between now and December 29, 12 League matches and one Copa del Rey match will be played, and Javi Closas said that “instead of Christmas it seems like something different and we will also play the Catalan Cup in Santa Coloma. I don’t know how we’ll get there. Now it lives day by day.”

The Industrias García coach, like most coaches in the first and second divisions, also objected to the change in rules introduced by the RFEF. The most innovative change is that the throw-in can be performed with the hand or foot. The player will have the opportunity to choose how he will do this, and he will be able to change his decision within the 4 seconds that he has to complete it. This is a proposal submitted from Spain to FIFA, which will only be applied in our country on an experimental basis.

When the season ends, a statistical analysis will be carried out – using First Division data only – so football’s governing body can decide how to restart play after the throw-in. Precisely, the last goal of the Colomenses came on a quick throw-in, which Bernat Povil took advantage of and earned the first three points of the season. Klosas said: “I’m very clear that it can step up the game, but I don’t like the fact that it can be kicked or kicked. I don’t agree because at the end of the day it’s like the Royal League.”

Defending champion Jimbi Cartagena started the league with an away win over Viña Albali Valdepenas (1-2). Spanish-Brazilian coach Eduardo “Duda” San Thiago also showed his reluctance on the Futsal Cope program regarding the preparation of the calendar. taking into account the fact that the Cartagenas will make their debut in the Champions League (Main and Elite round) and, together with Palma in futsal, they will have to play another six and seven (including the intercontinental final) matches before the end of 2024.

“I am critical to death about this, and the calendar is very poorly designed,” Duda said, pointing to FIFA and UEFA, as well as the RFEF. “It cannot be that you play two stages of the Champions League in October and November with three games, and the next one is in May. And that we are in pre-season training for two months to start the championship, and five days after the end of the World Cup, there are Players who are about to make their debut in the League. It seems absurd to me, but even more so to play in the Champions League immediately after the start of the season,” he repeated.

Regarding the changes to the regulations, team technical manager Melonero noted: “I think the goalkeeper throw-in rule is unanimous in Spain. I haven’t heard anyone criticize this rule. The goalkeeper’s exit from the penalty area is a matter of nuance.” but the throw-in rule, I think it can be positive, but from the wing and from the corner and always” and argued that “if it should be optional, then they put the corner kick in the same rule because it is absurd that two meters can be served with your hand, and when the ball crosses the baseline, your leg is at a disadvantage. He concluded by making a comparison: “If I want to build a new wall and tear down the first wall and leave the second half finished, then for this I prefer the old one and leave it as it was. Although with good intentions, I think they left her half-assed. ready,” he concluded.

Please note that last Friday around 12:00 On the same day that the first division began, the clubs learned of the appointment of Luis Amado as the new head of the men’s first and second division. The former goalkeeper, who has been ambassador and institutional representative of the RFEF since 2019, will carry out the functions that have so far been carried out by Javier Lorente, as reported by Relevo. “This is another example of an informal and amateur competition where clubs have a lot of money at stake”; – the leader assured Relevo.

National Futsal Committee secretary Paco Sedano sent an email to clubs to inform them of the incident. a change that is formulated, as he announced, in “the new structuring that we are carrying out in the Futsal Department and which we will inform you about in the near future”, without revealing that Javier Lorente (“will continue to carry out other functions in the house,” he said) will serve as sporting director of the national team along with new coach Jesus Velasco, once the contract situation with Fede Vidal is resolved.

The new Barça of Tino Perez started the League with heavy defeat (5-2) against El Pozo Murcia Costa Cálidain the match they were in Brazilian players from both teams were given the honor of becoming six-time world champions. Barca’s squad emerged with just 10 first-team players after it was confirmed that Pito had also returned injured from the World Cup in Uzbekistan, as did Spaniards Sergio Lozano, Katela and Adolfo and Moroccan Khalid Bouzid. The Brazilian forward suffered a hamstring injury in his right leg and will miss 8 to 10 weeks. As at the World Cup, Marcel Marquez was the main protagonist, scoring two goals.
