The Kings Club World Cup has already begun, and it has done so in the most intense way possible. The locals have won their first two games, we have had several surprises… and a serious injury of one of the players who were called to be stars of the tournament.
The Spanish teams, for their part, have started with bittersweet feelings. The first to play were Los Troncos, who fell with a surprise against DR7, by 1-6, and later Ultimate Mostoles gave the positive note defeating Annihilators in a tense match in which the result was 6-3. The Spanish have been superior, starting off on a very good foot in the tournament.
An injury and several surprises
To start the tournament, Kings League Italia champion Alpak beat No Rules FCthe winner of the German league. It was a very even match in which Gilles and De la Mata, the Spanish players of No Rules, could not beat the locals, who have Jero Martín.
However, it would not be until the second game that we would see the first surprise. DR7, Kings League MENA team the debut of the current champion was watered down, The Trunks. In a match in which they knew how to hold on in the first minutes and with a hat-trick by the goalkeeper who will play for the Qatar national team, Mame Cheik DiopPerxitaa’s team started on the left foot, with a painful 1-6.
But the most negative part of the afternoon came in the last game. Stallions, one of the most beloved teams in the Kings League Italy, faced against Desimpainand in the first play we saw what nobody wanted. David Ilariostar of the Brazilian team, dribbled past the goalkeeper, but when he stepped on he fell to the ground with a bad gesture, in what appeared to be a torn cruciate ligament in his knee.
After this, another of the afternoon’s surprises occurred, since the Italian team, a priori worse than the Brazilian champion, He surpassed his rival, and left Desimpain very touched that they need to regroup ahead of the second game of the competition, which could leave them out if they lose.
Ultimate Móstoles puts a positive note
Seeing the tough start of Troncos who suffered in what seemed like an easy match, Ultimate Móstoles concentrated even more, and took this first test of the World Cup very seriously, against a physical team that, if it manages to take the match where it wants, would make things difficult for them.
They did not want to disappoint, and that is why they took their match against Annihilators very seriously. Alex Martínez’s men dominated the timing of the game, defended well, and won with authority against the Mexican champion, with an especially good performance by Aleix Martí, who scored a hat-trick.
