After 10 days of the Endesa League, the Basketball Girona It is in the lower zone of the standings with 2 victories, the same as BAXI Manresa, Casademont Zaragoza and Real Betis. The Catalan team has chained 4 defeats in a row and this Sunday they visit La Fonteta. To analyze this first third of the course, Marc Gasol has appeared before the media, sending a message of calm and confidence despite the irregular results.
These have been the words of Marc Gasol (via MD):
maximum confidence
“We are convinced that if we improve the situation it will be what we all want. And if even so we do not arrive, then we can be calm that we have done everything that was in our hands”.
Less dependency on Marc
«I am feeling very well, but I would like there not to be so much dependence on me. I would be happier if the number of players who felt comfortable and safe on the court was greater to be able to do more things. I want to verbalize to my teammates what they should do when they are alone, to shoot, to generate… we must all add to the track. We cannot be so predictable and so easy to be stopped by the rival.”
The team works well
“I see the players and I believe a lot in them. They are capable of doing more. Without a doubt, the team has a lot of room for improvement and we do the things we have to do. Doing things at the right time is a long process. Sometimes it’s hard to make the player’s way more difficult to understand the big picture. The players are working to achieve it and there we are”.
manage frustration
“We have had several games with the victory to touch and that generates frustration for being close to the prize. Collectively, I’ve seen that when we’re good and playing consistently on both sides we’re a tough team to defend. But it’s too noticeable when we have a blackout and we still haven’t managed to minimize that. We need to understand what is needed at each moment and that is a long and sometimes frustrating process”.
Their numbers don’t matter
“The ACB of before is not the one of now. In the end my numbers are not important. I want to be on court and help my teammates and I want everyone to feel important so that they can grow as players. It is useless to have the best numbers if you then lose games”.
Blind faith in Aíto
«As president I do not get involved with Aíto’s decisions, because he has much more experience than me. Aíto is the one who sets the model for us and we must not leave here. The sports director, Jordi Pla, is the one who is in constant contact with him to find out what the team’s needs are.”
