Rubén Burgos pre second leg quarterfinals EuroCup Women vs Umana Reyer Venezia quotes

18/03/2022

Valencia Basket returns to the Fonteta to play the final game of the EuroCup Women quarterfinals against Umana Reyer Venezia with the Final Four as a prize. Rubén Burgos assesses how his team arrives, which starts with a +4 thanks to the victory in the first leg.


The coach began by saying that his players are "ready for the second leg. It was good that we don't have a midweek league game, so it gives us these days to improve specific details and try to show some that we didn't keep in the first leg, but we didn't have them all worked out, and we can put them into practice in the second leg. We were aware that regardless of the score, the cliché that the tie would be decided at La Fonteta was clear because of the entity of the rival. Although the advantage would have been wide, and four points as the game went are fair and good for us, but it will be 40 minutes harder against an expert, ambitious team that has top-level individuals. Already in the game itself their rotation was short, the minutes of rest for Anderson, Thornton and Ndour were minimal, and we expect even less here. Our partial was precisely when they were on the bench".
