41: Building the Foundation
The atmosphere in the Barcelona B training ground was a blend of focus and cautious optimism. After the hard-fought draw against Real Betis, the team had a renewed sense of purpose. Every player knew they had given their all, but the taste of victory had eluded them, leaving a hunger that needed to be satisfied. Coach Ramón had been clear: the team was making progress, but consistency would be the key to survival in La Liga 2.
Liam Carter, ever the reflective leader, took it upon himself to keep the team's morale high. He knew that the long season ahead would test their resolve, and as vice-captain, he was determined to lead by example, both on and off the pitch. His role wasn't just about the tactical side of the game, but also about ensuring that every player was mentally and emotionally prepared for the battles ahead.
