Girona Basketball coach Aíto García Reneses remarked this Friday, on the eve of Barça’s visit, that “the team’s progress has been very good, but that we must not only maintain it, but improve it”.
“You don’t have to be too low mentally or too high. You always have to try to do your best, whether you’ve won the previous game or lost. You have to get the balance,” said the Madrid coach.
In addition, he confirmed the loss due to injury to power forward Pierre Oriola and celebrated that the Fontajau pavilion is going to fill up to receive Barça.
Fontajau full, positive for the team
“It is very positive that the people are with the team. Because the team notices that psychological aspect and is then able to make an extra effort. That it is full, with people vibrating with the team, is very important for the players,” he assured.
Regarding the duel against the Catalan team, the veteran coach assured that “The match will depend on whether both teams make a lot of counterattacks and transitions. and not of the defensive game”.
Regarding Barça, the coach highlighted that “it’s frankly difficult to play the Euroleague and the league at the same time”, although he specified that having a squad of more than twelve players, everything “is quite unpredictable”.
