After an unforgettable season for Valencia Basket, the idyll continues in summer with up to 4 taronja players who will participate in the next Eurobasket Women. Two of them thanks to its great season in Valencia, both Maria Pina and Tamara Abalde. We spoke with Maria from the Spanish National Team.

 

What does this opportunity to play the Eurobasket mean to you?

At the beginning of the call I felt it as a prize and now it is a great responsibility. At the sporting level it is a past to be among very great players and compete with Spain at this high level

 

What value do you give to the work you have done during the year in Valencia?

It is clear that Valencia has helped me to consolidate more as a player and continue competing and learning for one more year. Playing so many minutes and having the role I have in Valencia has helped me a lot to be here, which I thank the club and my coaches

 

Both you and Tamara come to the appointment from Valencia, is the reward for the year of work?

We are both working for many years and this is a consequence of that work.

 

Next to you is Queralt Casas, have you talked about next year in Valencia?

With Queralt everything very well. We have been friends for a long time. Yes, among many other things we have talked about Valencia. She is very illusioned and I am very proud to tell her everything
