The Catalan side signs the Japanese star, adidas Silver Ball in the last FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Tahiti 2013, for the Mundialito
Some weeks prior to the beginning of the III Mundialito de Clubes, some spectacular signings begin to be known. One of these transfers to be unveiled was the confirmation that Osmar Moreira, Ozu, will join Catalan giants FC Barcelona. The adidas Silver Ball award winner in the last FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Tahiti 2013 will then empower one of the most attractive squads, which seeks to go beyond the quarterfinal stage this time.
The team’s technical director and captain, Ramiro Amarelle, had no doubt that Ozu, after his stunning performance in Papeete and Qatar (where he was named best player of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Qualifier), was a player that would give his team an extra strength. “Ozu has been showing a great shape in the last seasons. We were interested in having him with us, as his strength and capacities can be really helpful for any squad, at the time he gives a lot of possibilities to the team“.
In turn, the player, who admits having liked Barcelona since he was very young sees “a dream coming true” this chance of joining such a big club as FC Barcelona. “It means a huge pride for me, and I cannot wait to see the tournament begin and start playing with FC Barcelona!” he admits.
