Quotes Rubén Burgos post J4 LF Endesa en Movistar Estudiantes

26/10/2024

“First, I want to remember two very important things today, the fans who have travelled from Valencia, we have felt them in the good and bad moments and this is very valuable, especially away from home. And second, I want to remember the great game by Movistar Estudiantes, with new players, with young players, competing very well in Spain and in Europe, I want to congratulate their staff and the players for the great game. The equality has been predominant, and in numbers, although it has been an attractive game because of how even it was, there have not been good percentages in both teams, we have defended well but neither team has been successful. We started taking good care of the ball, in the third quarter we had some unfortunate losses, due to haste, others due to emotional states, we are people. Those bad moments have been played in the 3Q and they have put themselves ahead. The match had become very complicated, I am proud of the mentality of the players, we wanted to play the 40 minutes, we don't always manage it, and today, if we didn't, we had no chance of winning the match, we knew that before the match. Our rotation understood the match and believed. The last quarter in our favor showed that we were more accurate and we closed the rebound better. With the rotations shortened by Alina Iagupova, today I would like to highlight the effort of Stephanie Mavunga, not for the numbers, this is about the team, but for sacrificing herself for the team, today she was not fully fit, with an infection, the beginning of an illness, but once back in the game she was decisive for the victory. I am very happy with the team's effort, when there are casualties and you are away from home you have to stick together very hard. There are many things to improve but we are proud of the mentality.”
