“We want to continue making history and moving the world” | Relief

Presentation of the women’s “Barça” in the Joan Gamper Trophy This increased the enthusiasm of the fans, who were euphoric after a magnificent season in which Kühle’s team won four possible titles. New season, new faces. Starting with the staff that will accompany Pere Romeu, who will replace Jonathan Giraldes and who will be the first to jump onto the pitch at the Johan Cruyff Stadium to a warm ovation that grew louder as the players appeared in shorts.

Alba Caño, who will be part of the team’s starting line-up next season along with Judith Pujols, was the first to take to the field. Then Gemma Font came out to start the parade of first team players, and that’s when the first news could be seen: She will wear the number 1, which was previously worn by Sandra Paños. Claudia Pina will wear number 9, and the newcomers – who came out before the captains who came in last – posed with their new numbers: Eva Payor, 17; Ellie Robak, 25; and Kika Nazareth, 18. In addition, Vicky Lopes, who holds the first team record alongside Martina Fernandes, will inherit Bruna Vilamala’s No. 19 shirt.

Pere Romeu, as the first coach, opened the performance. “First of all, I would like to tell you all that it is a great honor for me to be the coach of this team. I love the city, the club and I am sure that we will have a great time. Thank you all for being here.“, – the coach began with the words. Secondly, he thanked the president Joan Laporta and the managers in charge of the section, and also welcomed the new players.

“This is my fourth season with the women’s team and when I arrived I was amazed by the connection between the team and the fans. You are the driving force of the team and I hope this season continues to be like that,” he finally addressed the culé fans. “Get ready because we are going to win many more titles this season and this team will make you proud,” He announced that he was finishing his speech.

Alexia’s speech and the memory of the departed: “They helped make history”

Behind him, Alexia Putellas grabbed the microphone as fans chanted her name: “It’s a great joy to be back here with you and to be captain of the best team in the world. I want to start by thanking the fans for their support over the years. We know the effort you put in, the energy you give us, how you come to us.” Like Pere Romeu, he publicly welcomed “great players who join the team.”

“This is your home and I am sure you will get to know the fans straight away. Also, although he has been here with us for a few years, we welcome Pere Romeu as our first coach,” he continued. Alexia also recalled in detail the players who left the team on the summer market: “I want to thank Panos, Mariona, Lucy and Jonah for everything they have given to this club and for helping us make history.”.

Finally he warned: “You know what I’m going to tell you. We keep repeating this message: We’re not staying here. Every season is a new opportunity to do it again.” We know what it means to carry this shield: it is an effort, a demand, and this is what we will do every day to win these four titles again. That is what this team is all about.” He made it clear once again that next season “we are going for it.” “We know it is a daily effort, and we need you wherever we go, and of course at home. We want to continue making history, moving the world and dreaming. Let’s do it,” the captain concluded, to the applause of the fans.
