“We play for ourselves and for them”

Great victory for Nacional to stay with the series and the passage to the semifinals. After the game, Manuel Romero left his words.

From the first sensations after qualifying a new season to the semifinals, he left: “We are very happy to have gone to the semifinals again, it is the fourth consecutive season that Nacional has entered, in my case the second time. This was one of the objectives of the year, but it is not the final objective and we are not satisfied with getting here since what is coming now is the most beautiful thing. We are going to reach the finals and win the championship ”.

“It was a tough game, as was the series. The two games were quite similar, we did not start well and little by little we got into the game. Capable that in the first it was more noticeable, than in the first 20 minutes of yesterday. We knew it was going to be tough and more so in a 3-game series that there is no time for mistakes and time to lose ”. Regarding what the series was.

On how they felt and how the return was after standing up waiting for the play-ins, he said: “In the first game we felt a little bit about the days without basketball (in terms of games), it was difficult for us to get into the game, but luckily it was not enough to sacrifice the game and start 0-1. I think the keys are in the defensive work we are doing, we add teammates to the rotation since Carlos (Cabezas) and Esteban (Batista) returned. It’s more than obvious that adding two such players to the rotation empowers us a lot. We have a fairly long staff that makes us give more than 100% ”.

“We are very happy with the incorporation of Esteban, he is getting into the team very well, he is going to give us a very big hand and adding a player of his characteristics is excellent for us. In these two games he has already given us a lot and it will be very important for what is to come ”. Regarding the arrival of Batista.

About the three foreigners, he mentioned: “They are showing a very great performance, they have gone from less to more and in these instances they are empowering themselves and helping the team a lot. I think the three of them are the backbone of the team and they show a commitment and dedication that infects us and we are very happy to have them in this performance ”.

“Let’s go step by step. We met a new goal and we take this as having just begun. We have to keep a cool head. The team was not satisfied with this, we already had several years players with a lot of experience in the League and with important participations in these instances and that gives us peace of mind to have the maturity for this instance. Something to improve is to enter the games more focused and not give away a room or a first half. I think we are a team to take into account and get to important things ”. From what has been achieved, and what needs to be improved for what is to come.

Finally, he left a message for the fans: “It is a pity that they cannot come because for us it is a plus. The support really feels a lot from a distance, since in the networks and others they send us their encouragement. The truth is that playing knowing that you have so many people behind you pending and supporting is very nice. We play for ourselves and for them ”.
