The road ends in Santiago de Compostela. The fifth of five consecutive away games comes this Sunday in Galicia after having passed through Istanbul, Athens, Badalona and Munich. And the objective is to achieve this Sunday (6:30 p.m.) a victory in the Monbus Obradoiro pavilion. “It is a very difficult track and a dangerous match. I have a very bad record against them in my career because it is a track where it is difficult to win. They play difficult basketball for the rival and we must be focused and solid for the 40 minutes, without letting them feel confident,” says Tomas Satoransky.
With eight days left to finish the Endesa League, Barça is in third position (17 wins and 9 losses) but with no margin for error because it is in the best possible position in the play-off. And the Galician rival is in 15th place in the table (7 games won and 19 lost) and fighting to avoid relegation after winning last week in the Galician derby against Breogán. “It’s normal that things are at stake now.. They are suffering this season but they always bring out their best version against the big teams and it will be a very complicated game,” says Satoransky.
Satoransky’s assist record
The Czech point guard, who surpassed 1,000 points in the Euroleague on Thursday, could be one of the protagonists of this Sunday’s game. He now adds 590 assists to the ACB and He is just one assist away from becoming the fifth Barça player with the most assists in the ACB, equaling Jose Antonio Montero (591). In the last games he has surpassed Thomas Heurtel (585) and Nacho Rodríguez (584). “I don’t look at these things much but I hope I can continue climbing.” “This shows my game a little bit. Assisting and making the team better has always been the first option. “It defines my career.”
Satoransky, who is the Barça player with the most minutes per game, assures that “I am feeling very well physically and mentally. The important thing is to help the team win all the remaining games in the regular phase of the League and Euroleague.. For us, having the track factor in the play-offs is a very big advantage.”
After training at the Palau Blaugrana with all the available men, Roger Grimau’s team landed in Vigo this Saturday afternoon and traveled to Santiago de Compostela. Obradoiro, with ex-Azulgranas such as Artem Pustovyi and Pol Figueras, has the absence of Oleksandr Kovliar, with an injury to his right foot, and Álvaro Muñoz, with a long-term injury. The coach of the match has highlighted that Barça is “the best offensive team in the league“. “They are a very complete team, they score a lot of two-pointers and have great outside shooters.” In the match at the Palau, the victory was achieved in overtime and with a basket in extremis by Joel Parra (92-90).
