Würtzburg, which will open with a restricted capacity only to members, will live this evening (19.00, Teledeporte), the fourth women’s basketball classic of this 2020. The first, in the regular league 2019/20 last February, will be endur l´Uni. The other two, in the Cup final a week before the confinement, and in the Super Cup semi-finals of this year, were scored by Perfumerías Avenida. A duel of the greats returns, and it does so after both Salamanca and Girona come to offer a great image in the Euroleague. As if that weren’t attractive enough on the court, in a match that brings together players like Sílvia Domínguez, Leo Rodríguez, Tiffany Hayes and Katie Lou Samuelson, for the Castilians, and Laia Palau, María Araújo, Chelsea Gray and Sonja Vasic for the Girona , the classic also has morbidity on the benches. Neither Roberto Íñiguez nor Alfred Julbe have ever lost a Women’s League match (although the Spar Girona coach barely arrived in early November.
Frida Eldebrink will be Uni’s main absence. Julbe yesterday dismissed it. “I don’t think he will get to the game, although the medical test they did on him was on the right track. There is a certain risk of breaking again and we will surely decide not to travel “, he assured in the previous one. Paola Ferrari, on the other hand, will be available. The coach does not want any excuses with the loss of Eldebrink, who was injured against Riga and already lost the matches against Ekaterinburg and Schio in Europe, and the visit of Zamarat to the League.
Julbe gives importance to the game because he believes that having lost at home against Valencia “these games are more important in the play-offs.” Avenida is the undefeated leader, and Valencia and Girona are second and third with a single defeat, the Valencians, narrowly trailed in Salamanca (71-69). Avenida learned yesterday that FIBA had allowed it to host the second Euroleague bubble in Group A, while Uni will travel to Schio (Group C, from 19 to 22 January), according to the website.
