He arrived last September and Juan Carlos Guillamón pattern pending refloat ship stood.
For many it was but a boy, perhaps because his name had not moved beyond what we know as media.
But the truth is that Guillamón came backed by a proven track record at lower levels, with a large working quarry and a promotion to Segunda B. Third
Just a "brave" dares to take the helm of a ship that had left last season and played nearly sunk.
A twelfth position and previously a demotion.
Maybe that's why the fans looked askance at the arrival of a "foreign" sponsor and a rookie coach Plata.
However, only had to spend six months to Juan Carlos Guillamón albiazules followers to win.
His naturalness, humility, self-criticism and reading futsal new dream to make a hobby that is again excited.
Q: How does Guillamón futsal?
"I started playing football in juvenile and child category. As a player I was late to football. I sat in senior category and it would be combining soccer and football since before you could be enrolled in both federations. Finally I opted for football, but injury separated me from the field and that's when I started to take off my coaching courses. Eighteen years I premiered coaching Insurance Carmona getting the runner-up Spain and the next year got proclaim ourselves champions. Such were my beginnings to today. "
Q: Coming of leading teams of Senior and Junior Division, What did it mean to you to be in front of a computer as the Futsal Cartagena?
"He left the opportunity to come to train Cartagena and for me as a coach was a dream to work in a higher category. Was Call it the chance to prove that, after all, one studies and what one has been preparing for many years. Branch launch and also in Silver category is certainly a dream. "
Q: How many sports challenges or obstacles you had to overcome a personal level when you started this project?
"I had no fears, I was sure. Came to do the level III in Granada where I took a coaching change because there I learned a lot. Was time to take the leap and see where, I got matched with Tier III being in Silver . So, fear none, although I really do not know how to search and there was a sharp jump from third to second, I think any coach can be prepared in this category. "
Q: Could you define yourself as a coach?
"I am methodical.'ve Got a game idea and that idea died. Not trade it for anything. Prefer to change players system.'m Also a very open person and let the player improvise, which can give reviews.'m Not closed and I'm open to people with experience, such as Javi Matía or Sergio Rivero, can teach you many things.'m now in the process of adaptation, learning a lot, and these people coming to play at the top you have to listen. "
Q: Coach born or made?
"I think there are coaches who practically born for this and now they are seen from players. Me and cadets when I was playing football my coach when I needed it, I started to lead the team. There I saw and wood coach. "
Q: How do you handle team discipline?
Is it easier to deal with youth or the older?
"In times lower levels than the older are the most hit you and you get thrown a pulse. I've had no problems. A young people move very well, I've worked with them for quite some time. Molina has played in much with the quarry and now many of them are here with me in Cartagena but others have failed to come. I have no problem with neither the young nor the veterans. "
Q: Do you adapt well to combine your commercial work as your responsibility to coach a team in this category?
"Right now is what you get. According futsal is you can not leave your job to devote one hundred percent of this and more if you have certain obligations. The first is my job and then my role as coach. Moment, have to reconcile it as you can. "
Q: But you've ever raised dedicate this hundred percent?
Do you think I can get you an opportunity of this caliber?
"Before another. When you have twenty and have no family is there when you start to wonder if you should have made the leap. But sometimes out of fear, already be accommodated, because your idea is not going outside. Now, that's not feasible, come unless a very good deal to make you to think about it. Anyway, I think not. "
Q: What has been your best moment lived in futsal?
"The best time was last year when I was in third and ascended to Second B. was a very important year for us because we made it a team to move up and eventually got into the playoffs.'s First match was lost 6-3 at home, we had to go back four goals and thanks to the strategy of goalie player grew from the first minute and the game forward is we took. We've also had four championships in Spain, very important end we won, but obviously, the dream that we are living here now in Cartagena, is tops. "
Q. And at the worst you've had to face?
"The worst right now I do not remember. It's true that if I lost leagues playing against teams that maybe, at first, did not seem that would be a major obstacle, which were recent, as is the case of the best situation we face this weekend,. they have everything there to win and not to do Well in that category cadets, fry, happened to me and it's pretty hard. "

"Yes I think you can improve a lot.'s The first year that I'm here and it's clear that there are things that I was wrong that can be improved.'ll Try next year, if you still here, correct. But I think there are things even better, the goal is perfectly fulfilled in the first round and now be where we are thinking of playing a play off, it's great. "
Q: So, at the team level, too?
"Yes, the group you can not ask for more.'s Team has fallen short. There are teams that were made to ascend and ours just was drawn to not suffer. Additionally, we have an important ingredient is that we have people very Young, who is the future. Getting to play a play off with a younger team is something important. "
P: The set of five has brought much joy this season.
Is it easier to defend or attack him?
"Well, you have to work well both in defense and attack. I think defending is very difficult, rather than attack, but everything is on the time you devote to train. If you spend a lot of time, it's natural that done by get much benefit. "
Q: As we have seen this year has touched you be brave on many occasions.
How do you make those decisions?
Are you impulsive or you bring all studied from home?
"I have always been brave. Likes risk, that teams are very brave and ultimately understand the risks that wins."
Q: Do you get home defeats?
"Of course, when you lose me because I can throw two or three days you do not lift head up influencing me in my work, at home ... lose to me knows me very badly."
Q: Do you weigh more criticism or self-criticism?
"The criticism, if not constructive, of course it bothers me. Though it also depends on who criticize you. At the end of every game I like to see why we lost or why we won. And many times I've noticed that also errors players have also been mine. When that happens, I'm the first to admit it and try to improve it and change that. "
Q: Who gets it is lucky or influences?
"No, no. Whoever gets it is. I think everything is on the job. If you work well, get safe results. Badly If you work, you will most probably not come."
P: The response of the fans? Surprised you?
"Yes, of course, I'm not used to this. I knew that the fans in Cartagena was very big and very strong, and now, with the team playing in Silver, with the team we have, with virtually young players I think ... the fans have to put a ten. "
Q: What gives you more afraid of meeting next Saturday: win and face a play off or lose?
"Man, it is clear that it is a trap game. Everybody thinks you can win easy ... but for us it is a final. It's an important game if we lose, it will be very bad for us, of course, although it anyway more options sneak into the playoffs. "
Q: Is the team ready to play off in all its aspects?
"We are now in a good dynamic. I think if we build on the last game against Brihuega, especially if we play as in the first part, we can say that we are super prepared and can cause an upset in the playoffs. We have do things and not make individual errors. abuts Team physically, tactically, can improve many things but I think we arrived at a good time to fight for the title. "
Q: Do you dare to predict crossings playoffs?
"I think you'd Plastics Romero Cartagena-Elche".
Q: Do you agree with what you believe what you like?
"Man ... I'd like Levante because it is a team that is neat, has a way of playing and you can attack. Elche is anarchic, that depends more on their players."
Q: Did you expect so much media coverage?
"Not really. Having a team or Silver in Murcia Molina, this impact we had not succeeded. Means are very important and I am very surprised at how the press in Cartagena calls you, cares for the team, for players by coach ... That is very important. "
Q: Out of the bench, what is your passion?
"Is football. When I'm not training I'm watching videos. Cinema I'm not, I'm not from TV. Football only."
Q: Do you get a personal goal?
"I would like, once we get here, then place the team in the First Division, which is something very important here in Cartagena and, for me, as a coach, would be great."
Q: What do we need to know of Guillamón on a bench?
"For many things, because I've been here eight or nine months and when I hardly knew people. For those who know me know that I'm here and still somewhat embarrassed that I can do much more."
Q: Whether it's for a project to Promote First Second, Guillamón? Cartagena stays another year?
"Well I do not know. It is a very important decision. Were First Division do not know what would happen, it is clear that the Club would be a small revolution. Me as a coach would like to stay and try, but I have a job and would to talk and think about it. "
Q: Would you do a lot of changes in the current squad ahead of next?
"Yes, it's a different league.'d Have to come two or three new players and, of course, if they come about, others have to leave."
Q: If you stay next year, you will ask to participate in the making of the template?
"Yes, I know what I want and I know what's missing from the team. Clearly, you have to see the economic issue because maybe I want players that the club can not afford it. Anyway, it is clear that between Roberto, Juan Fernando, coaching staff and then decide the casualties. "
Q: Which team has surprised you for good and what bad this season?
"Well Tenerife. Last year was last and today, virtually the same template is about to ascend. Same as Cartagena, being on the bottom now are one step away from playing playoffs almost eighty percent of Players who were last year. That is what most strikes you. On the other side is Segovia, a team with many years and much history as expected was to end fighting. has started badly, but is now adding many points and You can even get into the fight of the playoffs if the other teams lose.
