Rubén Burgos post Quarterfinals G1 LF Endesa vs IDK Euskotren quotes

25/04/2024

"A tough playoff game in a demanding court against a team that we knew was going to give 100%. Our short history in these competitions, as we have already lived some like this, I remember tying against Estudiantes, close victories... it is the format and I think it is the equality that prevails in our league. As for the game itself today, a game with little success on both sides. While I think our percentages have been below the quality of our players, the work we have been doing and the journey of the year. I also think the same, that IDK has played a game with heart, at times has played good basketball, but we also have to be prepared for Valencia to improve their percentages, a team with this quality. Today we have seen that at times they have put us on the ropes. We will take advantage of some adjustments in the video analysis to improve offensively, which I think is where we can give more tranquility to the players and not fall into anxiety as a result of today. Some well-played possessions, triangulated ball, finding players in their spaces of strength and not being able to score made us enter into doubts and at times make bad decisions and commit turnovers. Well, we will improve it, we will work on it. Surely with our fans close to us in the Fonteta our mood and our emotions will improve, but we do not have to lower the defensive level of intensity at all against an opponent who will also prepare like us, who has an excellent coach as Azu Muguruza and will try to give again their best version in our court. We will have to pull off a match that, having lost or won, there would be 40 more minutes left. I am convinced that the tie would still be open whatever the result, now even more so because today's match was practically a draw".
