The Spanish team ran into France again in the second friendly in preparation for the Eurobasket. Resounding defeat of the Mondelo girls (72-45) still in a state of embryonic form and still far from the chemistry with which they hope to compete in Valencia from June 17 to 27.

The coach made several changes from Sunday’s game. They didn’t play this time Laura Quevedo, Laura Gil, María Conde and Laia Palau, who left their site, among others, to Laia Flores, debutant with the absolute in a duel that will remain for his memory, but to forget in sports.

Spain started very badly, misplaced and surpassed in all facets by its rival. Bad game that resulted in a 27-5 run that marked the future of the rest of the party. It took a long time for the national team to score its first basket, the work of Ouviña, although that did not change the general jam of the team in attack.

It cost a lot to Spain, weighed down in the physical aspect and without the inspiration of other occasions. The attack did not flow even in the free (8 out of 14 midway through the match) and not from the perimeter (0 out of 12 at the end of the match).

The distance grew (65-32) and became so vast, that Mondelo chose to give entry to the youngest, including a Laia Flores who debuted and scored her first points with the national team.

At the end of the meeting, the coach called for calm. «That people do not worry, this is a lie. Several things have come together. They just finished their league, they have a lot of pace and are very physical. We have noticed that lack of rhythm. What’s more, we have missed easy baskets under the basket and we have not made a triple of twelve attempts. They are very bad numbers and little that we would have done better we would have already made up that score a little. Being the same party and you lose 12-15 it is not so serious. We drew a lot of conclusions, “explained the coach.

There are still things to work on, because there are many new players, but it is something that will come with time, although there is no concern within the team, who will now return to his headquarters in Valencia before playing the following friendlies in Córdoba.
