Another two signings
Apart from Carlos Muñoz, Barça Mobicat also signed two other players earlier in the season. These
were Jordi Sánchez and Saad Asís. The former arrived from Armiñana Valencia, which had disappeared,
as had Móstoles, from where Italian-Brazilian Saad Assis was signed.
Carlos Muñoz: the latest addition
Carlos Muñoz was the last new face in Barça Mobicat this season. He arrived in November but could not make his debut until the winter transfer window opened.
He signed for Barça Mobicat on November 7, 2008. A week later he may have been able to train but
could not play in matches. Carlos Muñoz was here for two seasons, but having already played for
Caja Segovia, he was temporarily illegible to represent Barça Mobicat.
Tough first months
The first two months at Barça Mobicat were especially tough for Carlos Muñoz, as he
had no hope of actually playing for the first team. There were added frustrations. “In
December I was on my own in Barcelona” he remembers. “I couldn’t play and I
didn’t have my family with me. It was tough because I couldn’t travel to Madrid because
I had to train”.
Unable to test his chances in the Palau, Carlos Muñoz could only watch from the sidelines.
“I enjoyed watching the matches in the Palau, be it basketball, handball or, of course,
futsal. I knew everyone in the box. The games are much more relaxed seen from up there because you
don’t get the tension of having to play.”
Taking part
But when it came to futsal, he wasn’t only in the Palau as a spectator. Marc
Carmona made him join in with all the team talks before, during and after games. “I had to be
there an hour before the game for the pre-match team talk and also to be there for break” he
said..
Debut, in the Copa Catalana
But Carlos Muñoz then had the chance to bring his debut forward, in the Copa Catalana against
Marfil Santa Coloma.
He didn’t play a league game until January 9, 2009 and it was at the Palau
Blaugrana against Benicarló. Barça Mobicat won 5-3. In late January he got to celebrate his first
goal in the FCB shirt and immediatelt became a key member of the squad. He played every game from
then on, and scored four goals.
