BAXI Manresa 'returns' the visit to BAXI Ferrol
Several players from the Manresa squad travel to Sant Feliu de Llobregat to follow the match between Barça CBS and BAXI Ferrol to meet up with the players who visited them during a visit to Galicia. There has been an exchange of shirts between captains.
BAXI Ferrol and BAXI Manresa have met again. The players from the Bàsquet Manresa first team went to Sant Feliu de Llobregat to see the victory achieved by the Uni Ferrol players. The people from Manresa wanted to return the gesture that the players of the Galician club had with them a while ago, visiting them after a match in Galicia.
Guillem Jou led the expedition, which also included Dani Pérez, Dani Garcia, Marcis Steinbergs and Juampi Vaulet. The captain from Manresa has exchanged a shirt with Marta Gómez, Galician captain. The players, who had just defeated Barça CBS by 70 to 75, had the support of about 100 fans, BAXI workers in Catalonia, in the stands.
The captain of BAXI Ferrol, Marta Gómez, explained that “it is very 'cool' that a women's team and a men's team share the same sponsor and that it gives us the same visibility; We can share times and interact with them and this is very good." For his part, Guillem Jou, the captain of BAXI Manresa, has said that «last year they came to see us in Santiago, they came to the locker room and we took a photo; I think it was ideal to be able to return the visit and we have been talking after the game; Sponsorship makes a team that, although it is so far away from us, have a point of union with us and that is very nice."
The BAXI Ferrol players have defeated Barça-CBS away (70-75) and are now ninth in the Endesa Women's League standings with 5 wins and 7 losses, while BAXI Manresa, who this week won in the Palau Blaugrana and lost in the Nou Congost against Tenerife, it is also ninth in the Endesa League and has a chance to be in the Copa del Rey.
