The choice of material for the Manomanista final, held at noon at the Bizkaia fronton, has not caused any problems. Altuna III and Jaka have chosen the leathers quickly and have been comfortable with what was in the basket. The lot was prepared by the mayors and the coach before the semifinals dispute “and has had everything,” Lizartza’s highlighted. He has opted for a ball that does not have as much exit from the front and slides more on the ground, while those of Amezketa are more manageable.
The one who will wear red has admitted that he does not come to the elections with the material thinking about choosing leathers according to the rival he has, “but I choose the ones that best fit my hand.” Once the task was finished, Altuna III had his last training session before the peak crash in the company of coach Jokin Etxaniz. His rival had done it before the election.
They know each other too much and both have agreed that one of the keys to the meeting in which the most important txapela of the year is distributed will be to take the initiative, “and know how to take advantage of this circumstance,” Jaka stressed. “You cannot speculate and you have to take advantage of the smallest option to finish the goal,” he added.
“The tension is still there”
The one from Amezketa will play the sixth final of his career if the three official tournaments are taken into account, the second for Manomanista. In spite of everything, he has recognized that one “does not get used to situations like this because you don’t know how you are going to experience it and the sensations you are going to have that day.” He is the favorite for victory, but it does not take away his sleep. He prefers not to trust anything. «When I played my first final it was the tenth of Olaizola II and I beat him. The statistics are to be broken, “he said..
Summit crashes are different in everything. The one on Sunday more, because there will be no fans in the stands, “but the tension is still there,” admitted Amezketa’s.
