Xabi Tolosa.
Anoeta’s is new to the tournament and does not know victory in three days, but his morale “is strong” and he hopes to change the situation
Xabi Tolosa is still going strong. The red lantern that he occupies, together with Ezkurdia, in the third match of the Couples has not made a dent in the defender of Anoeta. He is the only new face of the championship, but the nearly eight years he has been a professional mean that he does not lose perspective. Despite the fact that the start of the tournament is far from the dream, the Guipuzcoan continues to believe. Last Wednesday in Bergara he suffered the siege of two punchers like Irribarria and Rezusta “but it was something logical.” «The sensations were quite bad. The fronton is fast and with the rhythm they were printing, I didn’t have time to get to the ball, “he admitted. However, that is past. And the bodyguard prefers to look to the future. “You have to keep a cool head and be mentally strong, because with the work we are doing, the results will come,” he said.
Nor has he had much luck with the crosses in the coming-out of the competition. Tolosa has faced Zabaleta and Rezusta, two of the defenders who make the most differences today, who in addition to putting him in difficulties prevent his partner from entering the game. The match in which Martija was measured was much more comfortable and dominated some phases of the match, but the clash escaped them for details.
Although he had previously played as a substitute at some time, the competition is new for the Gipuzkoan and he needs time to adapt to it. “I’m the one with the least amount of filming, but I don’t want it to be a justification. You have to work hard to try to make things change, “he stressed.
For now, the only short-term objective that has been set is to add the first point that takes away that added pressure and settle the combination. Go game by game. Seen the beginning, he has no other choice. «There are still eleven days to go and we must remain calm. If the nerves start it can affect performance and it will be worse. Although it is not the ideal situation for us, morally we are strong and it is important to stay that way, “said Tolosa.
Duels between companies
He is with a forward like the Navarrese who has enough boards to keep him on the right track and who helps him in whatever way he can. In that aspect there is no problem. “Since the championship began, we trained together on the fronton, we traveled in the same car to the material choices, and we planned the week so that it was the same for both of us,” he stressed.
On the fourth day the duels between companies begin. They will meet on Monday at the Ederrena de Urretxu fronton against Peña II and Albisu. Other hitters. «Last year they were finalists and we know the class and quality they have. Perhaps this year they have not yet shown everything they can give on the field, so we will try to take advantage of it, “he said.
His rivals are also in a negative dynamic. They have lost their last two games and badly need the point. “It will be an intense and difficult game, but we will try to change things.”
