Quotes by Pedro Martínez

 “We’re semifinalists, which is great news for us. Let’s see if we can get some players back and keep going. Resting can sometimes be detrimental because you get a bit anxious about competing. Things happen as they happen, and you have to adapt. We played a very good match. I think Surne Bilbao isn’t used to playing matches of such high intensity within 48 hours; we’re a bit more accustomed to recovering every 48 hours. Winning isn’t everything, and we have to acknowledge Surne Bilbao’s excellent performance.”
