Context
Picture this: you’re Ferran López, Voltregà’s head coach. You’ve got your eye on finishing in those European-qualifying spots and securing a Copa del Rey place. Now, you're up against Calafell, who ended last season just a rung above you. But there's one big catch: this is not last season’s Calafell.
This year, they’re turbocharged with ex-Spanish national coach Guillem Cabestany, who’s brought his elite squad-building skills, plus players like Sergi Folguera, Aleix Marimon, and other young stars adding some top players like Sergi Miras or Gerard Camps . Calafell already got the Lliga Catalana title, and they’re looking every bit the powerhouse they promised to be.
Poor Ferran, the Poor Guy…
Imagine trying to outplay this loaded Calafell side. They’re now the second-highest-scoring team in the league, and the obvious call for Ferran is to keep his defence tight. With a smaller rotation than Calafell’s full eight-player setup, Voltregà’s game plan? Cluster the defence, keep Calafell’s shooters at a distance, and rely on Oriol Codony in goal to handle those long shots.
Oh, and Ferran López knows Calafell well—he was their head coach not long ago.
