The first men’s team of CF Martorell lost 1-4 against the Grama Sports Foundation and could not win the Josep Ramon Vigueras Tournament, which was celebrating its fourth edition this year. The Martorelles, who will compete again this season in Primera Catalana, played the third pre-season friendly match at Torrent de Llops against a team from Tercera RFEF, a category that represents the fifth step in the structure of state football.
The team coached by Raúl de Amo, who improved in the second half, could not with a team that dominated the duel from the start. The coach explains that receiving the first goal so soon made them go to tow: “In the first minutes Grama were better than us and in the 2nd minute we had already conceded the first goal. Then we managed to have a good second half, having a little more presence, more ball and more arrivals”.
De Amo also adds that they faced a much more seasoned team: “Next week they are already playing in the official competition and we were playing our third pre-season game. So take it easy, we’re on the right track in these two weeks. We have to continue working”.
