This weekend in Gran Canaria the four best teams from the first round of the league will meet to compete in the Spanish Cup. He … Irudek Bidasoa Irun will face Barça in the second semi-final and Alex Mozas highlights that “if there is any team that can compete, it is us, we have already shown it.”
This confidence from the Madrid coach does not clash with the fact that the Blaugrana team is “the Miura par excellence, it is the best team.” Yes, they have had ten or twelve players out for the European Championship, but I am sure that they will be eager to continue with the hegemony of titles and that they will play a good game.
For Saturday’s event (5:30 p.m. in the Canary Islands), “we have our weapons and I think we have arguments to be able to discuss Saturday’s game with you. “It is another opportunity to return to what we always talk about, that we are close to winning teams like Flensburg, Melsungen or Barça.” Furthermore, “this month we are going to have several opportunities to face big teams and in this case there is a title at stake in two games and that is too important to think beyond.”
Irudek Bidasoa Irun played their last league match on December 20 and began training on January 12. Mozas says that “it has been a month of very busy weeks. “There were four internationals missing and it shows, but the boys from the reserve team have helped us a lot.” He refers to the training sessions and “also to the games, in which they have been able to play and have had minutes. “It is the most positive thing I take away from this part of the preseason, the work of the young people.”
The Christmas break “we urgently needed it because we reached the end very tight. “In January we first reinforced the game model and in the last week and a half we began to prepare for the Barça game.”
He highlights the fact that “only we and Barça repeated what we did last year, which speaks of the regularity and that we had a very good first round.”
Eleven or twelve games await the Irundarras in 36 days but “I think we would make a mistake if we thought about everything that is coming to us this month, because it is a bit dizzying, both the number of games we have and the rivals. “We only have to think about the next one, about Barça.”
Iñaki Cavero also appeared at a press conference, highlighting that “we have been playing good games against Barça for several years and I believe that this is another opportunity. Furthermore, it is a two-game tournament, it is the closest you can get to the title and I think we have to take advantage of those moments.
Logically, “we know that Barça is Barça, but I think we are working well to play this match, to start a good second round that is going to be long and hard.”
