Pacífico beat them all, completed the first round of the Federal Basketball League with a perfect 7-0 and, of course, entered that story of knowing how long the undefeated will last.. In the rematches, they will line up to try to lower it and at the Dean they feel prepared to face that situation. They support a project that has been going on for three seasons, it is touched on little during the breaks and with the help of Maximiliano Rubio, they support the dream of fighting until the decisive phases.
For now, the start of the South division was perfect and the coach analyzed it: “You always imagine good things and think of the best. I think one of the keys is the amount of work, three years ago we had a project. It is a stable job, where you know what the team plays, so it is easier to sustain an idea. “This comes from drag,” he stated.
Solid base and touch-ups
With names in the formation that come from memory, Lucas Romera, Marco Roumec, Sebastián Godoy Vega or Lucas Villanueva, the final touches were Santiago Martínez, Alex Soria, who exploded in this League, and Juani Pérez, who arrived to replace Diego Macedo . Thus, a solid foundation was built, which in the initial round gave results.

“We have players with experience within a context that helps everyone to be well and play good basketball. A good group was put together and We feel with that confidence and that positive energy of knowing that we can close the games well”.
At the end of the transfer market, the Dean added David Fric as the fifth major player. This situation forces a rotation and one is left out of the 12. Although it may represent a difficulty, the coach maintains that “The fifth token is a solution. We have many players who want to do things well and everyone knows that the collective goal is above the individual goal.. He who does not have to play is there, involved, with the same energy as the one who is inside.”
“Anyone can beat anyone”
Keeping your feet on the ground is vital in these situations and this is one of the objectives of the coaching staff. “It sounds like a loaded phrase, but the tournament is very even. We are 7-0 and we have 79 points in favor and 73 against and that confirms parity. We have not won a game by 20, don’t worry, and the reality is anyone can beat anyone,” Rubio said.
“Unlike other tournaments, there is no weak team. And there is no cuckoo either, he added. I think it is the most even Federal in recent times”. In that context, the coach admitted that “they want to beat us and it is logical. We don’t have to be undefeated all the time thinking, at some point we are going to lose. We want to be at the top, try not to fail and we only think about that.”
Three years, same idea
What remains unchanged is the idea and Rubio confirms it: “We do not change the way we play because the rivals already know you. Since I’ve been in Pacífico we play the same way. We are just trying to improve it and seek greater effectiveness”.
Although it is true that the LFB is going through its first phase, the interest in seeing how they do in other areas is permanent. The last crossings were not favorable to the teams in the area and promotion to the Argentine League was always far away.

“I look at other areas because I have a little problem with basketball consumption, because I like to meet teams and watch players that I know or teams of coaches who are friends, but there is still something missing,” the coach admitted.
However, he warned that “I see the South zone very well this year and there are always chances. It’s true that all four of us lost the crosses last season, but three were decided on the last ball, it’s not that we were that far away. There are good, strong teams, but I don’t see that there are any of an unattainable level. I think several from our area can fight until the end.”
