UEMC Real Valladolid meets again with a cotton test in which it has failed eight out of eleven times, eight of the eleven visits it has made this season. It is said soon. The face that he offers as a local in Pisuerga in little or rather nothing resembles the one he is offering away from his impregnable fort.
This Saturday, in Ourense, he will look for that change in mentality that his coach, the always maverick Paco García, is so demanding. «After the video talk I get on the bus convinced that we can win. However, then it costs us. Those 12 points that you concede more than an outsider is a very big slab. It’s like we played with less emotional charge than when we played in Pisuerga. It is much easier with everything that surrounds Pisuerga. We have to show that we have the maturity that we have to have to win away from home. Winning in Coruña, Lleida or Andorra are things that seem complicated to us. If we want to defend the castle from the fourth or fifth place that would allow you to play the play-off at home, we have to win games like the one in Orense, and like any other that comes to us. Let’s see if we know how to find that point of balance between the bad things we do away from home and the very good things we do at home.
Ourense’s party can mark a before and after in the aspirations of the purple team. «If we want to finish fourth or fifth, the game is essential. If the only objective is the playoffs, it is not essential. If we do not take it that way, we will reach the playoffs and it will be very good, but it should be remembered that we are the eleventh budget and we are in fourth place.
Paco García strips his rival of today and emphasizes the defensive virtues of Ourense. «He has four fundamental players, at the scoring level: Pilepic, Gjuroski’s outside shot, Urtasun and Manjgafic, with 14 points, plays well on the hoop, in follow-ups, he has a good hand on the outside… You can’t forget either from Chaz Williams, from José Nogués, from our friend Seydou Aboubacar. It is a very balanced team: with the arrival of Félix Alonso they have found a tremendous balance. We are going to find the best defensive version of Ourense. In his last two games he has conceded 54 and 66 points respectively. he asserted.
