From next Thursday 15 and until Sunday 18, eight teams will fight for the coveted Spanish Cup Community of Madrid 2018 in an incomparable setting: the Wizink Center in Madrid.
ElPozo Murcia will participate in this competition for the 24th time in its history, having achieved a record of four trophies in the years 1995, 2003, 2008 and 2010.
The wing-pivot of Murcia, Jean Pierre Guisel Costa 'Pito', has told how the team is and how it faces the tournament.
El Pozo's rival in the quarterfinals will be Palma Futsal.
It is the same as last year, when Duda won by 4-1.
Pito dreams of repeating the result although, in his own words, Palma "is surprising lately in the league, has improved a lot and will be a very tough opponent, we can not trust for the result of last year."
For the Brazilian player, this is his second season in the club and his second participation in the Cup. "I do not notice much difference from one year to the next, maybe now my teammates know my game better and I know theirs and that benefits us all, "recognizes Pito himself.
The player believes that it will be a very close match and, therefore, difficult.
He admits that in the dressing room they have talked about it: "It's one of the best Cups of recent years, all the teams have the same level, maybe there are two or three favorites, but that has to be shown on the track."
Last year, those of Duda managed to reach the final, but lost against Inter Movistar in the most stinging way: in penalties and after nine pitches.
Is the team prepared if it has to be resolved in the same way?
"Yes it is true that last year was painful, but we are ready to fight and fight until the end," says the Brazilian.
Some players have special habits before competitions or important matches, but Pito's 'trick' is simple: "I have no hobbies beyond training always to the maximum to be able to leave everything on the track."
