The women’s league classic is almost here. Spar Girona and Perfumerías Avenida will star in the match of the day. Dealing with many shared stories. Both sets have had a Roberto Iñiguez as a coach, several players have worn both kits, Julia Reisingerova and Adaora Elonu, for example and, lthe history of one team is not understood without the existence of the other. Although being honest, the visiting team has more success than Spar Girona.
The Australian pivot, Marianna Tolo, one of the team’s most important players, is still unavailable. Roberto explained “She continues to have problems. Likewise, this is no excuse, I have never used injuries as an excuse, said the coach showing confidence in his players.
When asked if tomorrow’s game is the same as last week’s against Valencia, Iñiguez denied it and explained the difference “No, it’s not the same. We had one more day to rest and prepare for the game. We didn’t ask for anything more than one more day or a few more hours for the players to stretch out. Vital aspect for the health of the players”. It must be remembered that the Girona girls have traveled twice to Turkey to play in the Eurocup matches and on the way back they found themselves with little time to prepare for the league match in the which rivals were of the highest demand. Nevertheless, the coach wanted to warn that the same thing will happen to them again next week, “We play the second leg in Fontajau on Thursday and, it seems, everything indicates that we will play the league game on Saturday”. He added “I give up, I don’t know who is in charge, I don’t know who the managers are, I don’t know who sets the hours. We will try to play as well as possible. I give up because in the end this will affect the club if I continue to add more pressure to this issue“.

Spar Girona, in a few weeks, has played the most momentous matches against the most demanding rivals, however, Roberto wanted to explain the final decline in the first leg of the Eurocup, “The team is disgusted, because we did a great job on Thursday in the first thirty minutes, with a lot of discipline, and in the last ten we lost our order and concentration. In addition, we didn’t know how to recover it with the three timeouts.” Added the recipe for this season finale,”The team must play with a lot of discipline, a lot of concentration and the five players must play as if they were one. Now we don’t have the talent to compete against the other team, based on talent alone. Besiktas has it, we don’t. Tomorrow will be the same. If we want to win at the Avenida, they have more talent than us, that’s obvious. It’s a reality. We have to accept it to compete.”
Regarding the match against Perfumerías Avenida, of which the Basque coach was the coach for three years, the coach gave importance to where he plays and to his Avenida teammates, “All the matches in Fontajau are special, I go match to match. I will like to see people that I have a lot of affection for all the years that we have worked together.”
When asked how to take advantage of knowing the players, with a half-smile on his face, the coach explained, “You have to try not to explain everything you know about the opponent, you don’t have to overload them with information. We don’t want them to think about it, because it’s very negative. You don’t have to overthink, you have to have the discipline and execute“.
Despite being in March, tomorrow in Fontajau will see the debut of Spar Girona’s latest addition, Lauren Nicholson. Roberto explained that the player has adapted very quickly to the team and that he is sure she will be able to help her teammates very soon, “She entered very well, with a lot of desire. I see her motivated to play tomorrow, it was a morale blow for her when she found out she couldn’t help us in the semi-finals of the Eurocup. She is very focused on helping the team in the league and the Cup. He’s going to be a very important part of the rotation.”
