Ortiz and Pito thrilled to join Barça

This Thursday was a day of smiles in the Palau Blaugrana as Jean Pierre Guisel Costa, 'Pito' and Carlos Ortiz were all presented to the media.

"They complete a squad that’s aspiring to everything”, said futsal director, Aureli Mas. “And they turned down offers so they could wear blaugrana".

"I’ll give 100% for this shirt. I’m very happy to come to FC Barcelona and I thank them for working so hard to sign me. Now it’s time to have fun."

"It’s an honour to play with Ferrao at Barça. I just hope we form a good pairing and create lots of headaches for our opponents."

"It’s time to put games against Barça in the past behind me and make my new fans happy. Coming here changes a lot of things and I want to help the team to win things."

"I’m training hard every day to be in peak position for my debut against Palma"

"Pito and I are both here to do our bit for the Barça project. This squad has some of the best players in the world. I’m like a kid coming to the Palau Blaugrana and ready to defend the Barça colours. I hope to bring experience to the team." 

"I’m especially motivated by the idea of playing with my old friend Sergio Lozano. He did a lot to get me to come to Barça. Now let’s see if we can win titles together."

"I want to win everything. That the goal we have set out and Barça are always favourites to win the lot."
