Caja Rural CB Zamora returns home and does so by hosting the fittest team of the First FEB, Leyma Coruña, current leader and against whom the Zamorano team wants to test itself. “It's always a pleasure to play against a team like Coruña, the first team in the league, and we don't need much more motivation to play against the leader at home in front of the entire city. We really want to do the best we can,” said one of the team's players, David Christensen.
Both the player and his teammates are aware that they must do everything perfectly because it will be very difficult to win, but they trust in their options and in improving the performance they gave in Menorca. “We believe in ourselves, but we already know that we need to give our best to win.” Regarding the rival, and so the table says, he is “one of the best and they have done a very good job so far”, so they have enormous respect for him.
Kristensen, who has gained experience defending his country in the last FIBA window, assured the media that he was very well. and wanting to show what he is capable of, both individually and collectively and insisted that ““We can do better than last week and we can compete with the best teams.”
To close his speech, he highlighted how important it is to play with a full house like Ángel Nieto and with the stands supporting him.
Saulo Hernandez
For his part, Saulo Hernández indicated that the training week is being positive and he expects the best version of the team on Saturday. “Right now we are in the best week of training in many years and although this is not mathematical nor does it happen from one day to the next, I think it is the first step to recover a little of the game that we had developed in the first part of the league and that we did not see anywhere the other day in Menorca,” indicated the coach.
All in all, he made it clear that one of the most beautiful things in sport is making the impossible possible and this is a great opportunity for them against an unbeaten Coruña. “It is the best attack in the league, it comes from ACB and it wants to return to ACB, it has everything to consider it one of the most difficult games of the season and those types of challenges are ones that we athletes love to face.”
In this way, and against the rival with the most pace and those with the most points, it will be key to maintain a defensive strength that allows them to be in the match. “If we are not able to stop their pace and we are not able to dominate the rebound, where they are also the best team in the league, it will give them a feeling of fluidity that will be very difficult to counteract. In a team of that quality it is practically impossible that throughout the 40 minutes you do not have a moment where you do not know where they are coming from, what they are going to score and they are going to score easily because they have a lot of talent and because they play very well, but the important thing is that you do not break down,” said the Zamorano who trusts in that reaction and pride of his team.
