In a blink of an eye. The material for the Cuatro y Medio final, which is held on Sunday at the Bizkaia fronton, was saved and sealed in just a quarter of an hour. Jaka and Altuna III nor they had many doubts when choosing the four balls with which the last title of the year will be played. In fact, they spent almost six minutes deciding on what may be one of the fastest picks ever.
First it was Lizartza’s turn. He immediately put a pair in his pocket because he liked them and he is very clear about what he wants for the game. I know what is good for me. I am not in favor of balls with a front exit that then takes flight, and I manage to differentiate quite quickly the ones I like, “he said. Then he tested the rest of the batch that the mayors and the material selector, Martín Alustiza, had put in before the semifinals were played. He corroborated what he already sensed. He kept the first ones that fit his hand well. The champion of the Manomanista works by sensations in this sense And, from what has been seen this year, they do not fail him. «Like the other time in the final of the heads-up game, I quickly found the ones I wanted. There were all kinds, but I was comfortable with mine. Those of Altuna III are somewhat more manageable, but suitable for the distance, “he said.
The parties will not disrupt the planning of the protagonists, who plan to carry out their last training tomorrow
His rival did not go much further in time either. He immediately discarded four, and had some doubt with three that he cleared quite quickly with a brief rally. «It is very good material. Difficult to play in the distance because it gives little reaction time and the one who attacks has a lot of cattle. But it will not be an excuse, “said Altuna III. Both opted for leathers that do not have as much front output but they throw on the ground so that, when they print speed, the ball runs and takes their opponent out of their place.
Unlike other editions that Couples have already started by now, it will be the first time they have to experience the Christmas holidays in full preparation for a peak crash. If the year has been strange because of the pandemic, they are going to experience another peculiar situation. In addition to not having a week off as happened in the Manomanista, both are scheduled to do their last training tomorrow before the final.
Take care and enjoy
The one from Lizartza also held a technical session with Jokin Etxaniz yesterday before the election. “The important thing has been to recover from the effort on Sunday and regain spark to reach the best game point,” he admitted. He does not want anything to upset the planned program. «I have to be centered and I am not going to get out of my routines. I will be with the closest people, but I will take care of what I have to take care of. After the final there are already lunches and dinners to do ».
Altuna III’s plan is similar. Although you will have to prepare it and dedicate time to it throughout the next few days, you want to think as little as possible about the final on Sunday and will invest your time in being with family and friends. «If you think too much about a goal and you achieve it, you don’t enjoy it as much. I have to learn to value what I am experiencing, “he concluded.
