Edu Campabadal presented with CD Atlético Baleares
Right-back Edu Campabadal has been presented as a white-and-blue team player. The Catalan defender arrived at CD Atlético Baleares a week ago and is already prepared to make his debut. In the presentation ceremony, Sporting Director Patrick Messow also spoke, praising Campabadal’s arrival and officially announcing the renewal of David Forniés.
Patrick Messow announced the renewal of David Forniés after a successful surgical intervention following his injury in San Fernando. The captain will continue wearing the white-and-blue jersey for another season: “We will continue counting on him. He is a very important player both on and off the field.”
About Edu Campabadal:
“Edu is a well-known player in Spanish football. He has already played more than 200 games in the Second Division and was an undisputed starter at Alcoyano. We’ve been after him for a while, but it hadn’t been possible until now. He is a right-back, but he can also cover for Forniés’ absence. He is a player with a lot of experience in the category and will contribute a lot to our defense.”
“When Alcoyano communicated his release, on that same day, we spoke to his agent. We had no doubts because he has always been a club target, and the coach too.”
“The winter transfer market is always more challenging. We are looking for speed up front and, perhaps, a center forward. Both Óscar Sánchez and Jorge know they need to find an exit. We are attentive to the market.”
“Every transfer market is important. The intention is always to give it importance, and I think we are not in a hurry given how the team has responded and competed in recent weeks. There is still a lot to go, but we are in much better shape. We have clear goals, but no rush. We want to make the right decisions.”
Edu Campabadal:
“It’s true that it wasn’t the only offer I had, but it was the most motivating one. I decided quickly, and everything has been fast, but I was eager.”
“The club gave a lot of importance to my signing. The coach was one of the motivators, and so was Patrick.”
“What this team does and the coach’s philosophy align most closely with my style of play. We understood each other right away, and it was the decisive step.”
“You have to analyze who is there now and how things have gone since his arrival. At the beginning of the season, the team wasn’t competitive and conceded a lot. Now everything is different. If the team didn’t have a chance, I wouldn’t have come. Since the coach arrived, they have made a change. There is a lot of intensity in training. It is very important.”
“The locker room is very healthy and united. It is a team that is very clear that they will get out from the bottom. They are very eager, and I find it very positive. I am here to play.”
