CoreSportgib 4th February 2016 prise as the team rode high attracting attention from many quarters in the football sector. The transfere window saw how at least four of their players, to Coresportsgib’s knowledge, moved onto 11 aside teams, in at least one case, already having been in an eleven aside side and moving on to another side. This in at least two cases meant that their future in futsal was questioned as coaches asked for the players to focus on one league or another. The cross over between futsal and the 11 aside means that many other players risk the same fate in the future as teams ask for the to commit to one game or another. This mainly due to the high stakes now experienced as teams bid for financial, as well as football success. The very nature of the corss over between leagues also means that players represent different clubs when playing futsal as opposed to eleven aside football. Something which has raised some eyebrows among neutrals who question how players can maintain loyalty for clubs, especially in a day and age where football is geared just as much towards business as it is the sport. click here to see full gallery collection in our website
