“It is a completely new team, with different characteristics from last year and which is currently under construction. We are finalizing the tactical adjustments for the debut. We are going to try to adapt to the characteristics of the team that has good offensive power in the perimeter and with players that can cover various positions. We want to build an identity that defines us as a team”, explained coach Lucas Vega.
Vega will continue in the technical direction, accompanied by Juan Pablo “Pollo” Flores as technical assistant. The physical preparation will be in charge of Professor Daniel Rodríguez, who will replace Professor Rodrigo Borda, and Dante “Cacho” Brizuela will continue as an assistant to the campus.

The Olympic Cyclist of La Banda, Nicolás Avellaneda and Belgrano, from Santiago will also be there, along with Jujuy Basket.
“In our area we have 1, 2 and 3 of the Pre Federal who, in addition to playing together for a long time, have strengthened themselves well, which is the case of Talleres, Belgrano and Avellaneda Central. The teams from Santiago are always competitive and one step behind is us, Alberdi and the merger that we are building,” the green DT analyzed his rivals.
