Sergio Busquets named best player of the year
One of the big protagonists of the event was Sergio Busquets, who was named Best Player of the Year. After receiving the trophy, the midfielder said that he’s “very happy and not very accustomed to winning individual awards. I want to enjoy the moment and thank everyone that made this possible and my teammates.”
Sergio also talked about Tito Vianova and he declared that “the important thing is his health. He’s going through a difficult time but he’s very strong and positive and he knows that we are all behind him.” He added: “for us it’s not easy, we started well and now we’ve had to give more of ourselves along with Roura and the rest of the coaching staff ... We want our first half of the season to translate into titles.”
Carmona and Torras win back-to-back awards
Moving on to Catalan futsal, Barça Alusport took home the Best Manager award, Marc Carmona, and the Best Player award, Jordi Torras, for the second year in a row. “Awards for managers come from winning titles and that’s thanks to the players,” said Carmona. Torras highlighted that “we had a spectacular year, we won every title in play. I’m very pleased for the team and the image we gave of ourselves, that’s what people remember.”
