His change to the rear made Iker Irribarria yesterday one of the centers of attention in the presentation of the tournament held in the Bizkaia pediment. The Arama player knows that “it will be complicated”, but he hopes to take the measure to the new position as the games pass.
– What did you think when the company offered you to play as a back row player?
– It was an opportunity to play all summer and it is not the worst. I have felt good in training, but you have to see the image we give throughout the championship.
– So far he has played three bodyguard games.
– And I’ve won only one. Two have been against forwards, but now everything changes. Playing against ball players who are used to long frames is much more complicated because they lose much less ball and give it height. It will be complicated.
– Hands suffer more.
– We come from a three-month hiatus and playing ball again is already complicated in itself, so imagine what hands can suffer playing behind.
– Its pairing with Urrutikoetxea is morbid.
– My level can be based on what helps me, because it will cost me. But he is a very complete striker and has many resources.
– For you it will be a trial by fire because 14 days are many.
– The summer can be long if we start badly. I hope to take the measurement to the position as the games pass and feel more and more comfortable.
– Is there uncertainty about how the body will respond?
– Definitely. Be careful with injuries.
– What do you think of the tournament?
– Different, but beautiful on paper. However, it should be borne in mind that we had little time to train because they took us late from the ERTE, and the feelings were not the best either, so we will have to see how we started.
