Three promising players—Gabriel, Ludo, and Laurent—from Guadeloupe embarked on a transformative journey this season with Spain Rush-SPF to elevate their game in Spain's competitive soccer landscape.


Starting their journey at the onset of the Spanish soccer season, the trio aimed to enhance their skills in the Spanish minor leagues, a stepping stone to professional play. At nineteen years old, all three were eligible to register in minor leagues, setting the stage for potential professional careers.


Spain Rush-SPF tailored a comprehensive training program for them, focusing on specific technical and tactical skills, complemented by participation with minor league teams. This dual approach facilitated an increase in intensity and adaptation to the Spanish style of play—crucial elements for those aiming for a professional career in Spain.


The players secured spots on the Masanassa CF squad in the fourth-tier division, where commitment and hard work are paramount due to the highly competitive nature of the league. Their robust physical attributes provided a solid foundation, further enhanced by the academy's complementary training, which bolstered their technical and tactical prowess.

Laurent, a constant figure in the team's main lineup, expressed satisfaction with their performance over the season. Gabriel shone as a formidable left back with strong defensive and physical abilities. Ludo, playing as a left midfielder, impressed with his speed and skill, both with and without the ball, and his knack for delivering crucial final passes. Meanwhile, Laurent's presence in midfield, characterized by strong physicality, contributed significantly to the team's overall balance and gameplay.


All three are set to participate in the preseason stage in the "tercera division" next season, marking their first foray into semi-professional soccer.
