The two Acunsa Gipuzkoa Basket players consider that the key to retaking the positive path is “to continue working together and united”
The Gipuzkoan point guard Aitor Zubizarreta and the Croatian center Mario Delas have analyzed in the day of attention to the press the current moment of Acunsa Gipuzkoa Basket. Both believe that to change the negative dynamic “you have to be positive, keep working, believe in what you do.” The Azpeitiarra, hurt by the defeat in Coruña, has commented that «we have turned the page, we are already thinking about the next one. It’s hard to lose like that and you digest it as best you can, but we knew the rival we were going to face ». Delas acknowledges the hard defeat but “we have to believe that we can win. We have already done it twice.
In five games that we have been in this season, they have achieved two victories -both away from Illumbe-, and this Sunday they have a new opportunity to release their record of victories at home against Palma (12 hours). “We have to try to get the first victory at home and then the next one. Working and assimilating past mistakes, “explained Zubizarreta, who in turn indicated that” the beginning of the game, being tough, having character and aggressiveness in defense and attack “will be the keys. Meanwhile, Delas has pointed out that «we are at the beginning of the week, surely Lolo will influence us more in the tactics as the days go by. The important thing is that we are focused throughout the game.
On the idea of the game, they agree that it is not changed. «We do not change the philosophy. In addition to running and attacking, we also attach importance to defense. We are in the training period on the fifth day, if we were playing the best basketball now, we would have a problem. Some are adapting to the category, “said the Azpeitiarra. Delas hopes for victories to come. «Lolo is helping us. Basketball is the same for everyone, although there are different tactics. We are in a competitive league and all teams fight and win games, “he said.
“Together is easier”
Both players have landed this season at Acunsa. In these first months they make a positive balance. In the case of Zubizarreta, he noted that “I’m fine, happy, close to my people, enjoying it to the fullest, I have a nice challenge ahead of me.” For his part, the Croatian affirms that “I like the city very much, even though it is already starting to rain. I want to improve to help the team, to be better every day. If we win, everything will be fantastic. What he wanted most was to come and play. To the fans “we tell them that together it is much easier to compete and win. You have to be together. This is long and there will be many joys ».
