Meet the team will try to revalidate the title, probably through the same final match played in Puertollano. That would be another unforgettable season for the maquina verde, which seems still hungry of triumphs.

Few changes. Luis out
The dream team block is almost unchanged in comparison with the previous season: the legendary Jesus was replaced by Rafa, while some months ago Javi Limones has left the team to join PSG Mostoles. Also, Candelas will miss the talented Luis, which is injured and will lose the whole season.

Glorious past, ambitious future
Though the current "plantel" of ACBF can't reach the impressive level of the Fininho, Betao, Gabriel, Pablo and mates' era, the "gaucho" club is still one of the best brazilian club and its prestige was definitely the reason to be invited in Brusque. Barcelona fans still remember the wonderful group of players who conquered the 200r intercontinental title: click here to know more!

Carlinhos is the guide
Just one player of that great team is still in Carlos Barbosa, and we're obviously talking about the fixo Carlinhos, who will be the guide for the young new talents like Dionisio or Alex. To improve the experience level of ACBF, current coach Jaricò (back after the european experience with Napoli and Marfil Santa Coloma) will count on the former Charleroi's defender Leandro and the ex Napoli's pivot Juninho.
