The coach of Súper Agropal Palencia Baloncesto congratulates his players for a “very concentrated match, with physical success and having things very clear”
The assessment of the coach of the Super Agropal Palencia Baloncesto, Luis Guil, after last night’s match against Odilo Cartagena was simple: the overwhelming victory, with 100 points compared to the 67 of the local team, is honey on flakes for the purple team, which He returns from the Murcian city with the feeling of having played one of the most comfortable games of the season.

And that’s why Guil congratulated both the players and the coaching staff after last night’s match, because “they played a very focused and solid game, being clear that we had to take away Cartagena’s game.”
Despite having managed to dominate the scoreboard during the four halves, Guil is clear that the danger of Cartagena could not be ignored, which “is playing very good basketball”, for which the Palencia coach congratulated his rival counterpart, Jordi Juste, and the rest of the coaching staff.
“We knew that it was key to ensure that they did not score in the first 7-8 seconds of possession,” says Guil, a strategy that the team has followed with concentration and clarity, setting the tone of the game from the first 20 minutes. The only moment of danger, Guil remembers, was experienced at the beginning of the third quarter, when “we let Cartagena play fast, as they like, but we later recovered stability, above all defensively, not allowing a score in the first seconds. ”.
The key to success, for the coach of the purple team, has been playing “the most solid game we have played so far, with physical success and having things very clear, very concentrated”, both in attack, defense or pressure. “We are putting the team before the individual and that is what is making us take a little step more every day, both offensively and defensively.”
In relation to the rival, Luis Guil insists that “I liked Cartagena a lot, we took it as a very difficult match because it is a team that is playing very well and that never gives up a match.”

For his part, Jordi Juste, the coach of Odilo Cartagena, praised Súper Agropal Palencia Baloncesto “not only for the victory, but for the respect they have shown for Cartagena by playing 40 minutes to the maximum, and that is the best response that “It can give us a rival team.”
For Juste, who regrets that Cartagena is not preparing enough to provide quality in the Primera FEB league, he admits that “we must understand and learn from these teams, not only in the game but in the respect they have for the rival team and for the team itself. Because for two weeks we haven’t respected each other enough to compete well in this league.”
Juste highlights the “very high physical level that Palencia has set” and has praised how the purple players “pass the ball wonderfully, very quickly, block very hard and defend strongly.”
