“We closed the first round with a victory and with a game that has not been easy, as it never is, especially away from home on a court that has been difficult for all teams this season and especially for us last season. The game did not start comfortably, probably the result of their defense and merit of the rival, but some lack of tension, especially in attack, with the number of losses, we were allowing them to run after recovery and had a greater number of possessions than us and not physical enough in defense, I think several 1x1 and 2x2 Gernika was playing with more energy than us. We managed to close the rebounding a little better with the rotation, maintain efforts and maintain the level in the second half and well, has appeared a little more outside success of some players, we have achieved small advantages, never more than 10 points, although the game has been open until the end, but fortunately and with enough skill we managed to get a good win. We would like to thank the fans who came from Valencia for their support in the stands”.
“Gernika is always a complicated opponent, I think already qualified for the Copa de la Reina and deservedly so and our two loaned players I think they are maturing, today they played a good game, I personally liked the work of Awa in the paint, the decision and leadership of Elena Buenavida, so they are progressing as we want and we will continue to follow their evolution of course, as they are two important players for us. Now we prepare as best as possible to visit the court of the European champion on a day we have to give our 100% and fight to stay on top of our Euroleague group”.
