Elordi wants to keep his options in the ‘cage’ against an aggressive Bengoetxea VI

As soon as the match against Altuna III ended last weekend, Aitor Elordi gave a lot of turns to that volley that went away with 18-17 on the scoreboard. The Cuatro y Medio does not admit this type of setback against high-caliber rivals. However, the Biscayan has already learned his lesson and has set himself the goal of “continuing with options in the distance” after the clash that tomorrow (5:00 pm) will face Bengoetxea VI in Bizkaia. And for this, he will have to beat the Navarrese on a court that will show off a new floor after the polishing to which it has been subjected and the application of a product that makes the ball slip more. Both pelotaris tried it for the first time yesterday and were satisfied with the result.

In the three matches that he has played so far in the distance, Mallabia’s has confirmed that if he offers his level “I can squeeze the rivals”, so he wants to take advantage of his moment. He knows that Leitza’s will go all out from the start “and will put a lot of pace to try to break the crash, but I will try to complicate things.” Although the Biscayan is also a striker, he admits that it is not convenient for him to clash with his rival in the happy tables “because of his responsiveness.” “Instead of scoring the hook, I will give her strength so that she cannot counterattack me and make me uncomfortable. I need to hold on at the beginning, look for the left wall and when I can finish doing it, but without blinding myself, “he stressed. He is not afraid that the meeting will be prolonged because so far his feelings from the physical point of view have been good.

“I’m going to have it raw”

Bengoetxea VI is aware that “I’m going to have it raw” after the accumulated score against in the first match, but he does not give up. The Navarrese wants to be “competitive” in the duels that remain and will go for all to the field of Miribilla. “You always have to take risks but at the speed that the ball is coming, being effective is not easy at all,” he said.

The material they chose is different. The veteran opted for dark leather balls, better for attacking.
