11/01/2023

Coach Rubén Burgos assessed after the victory that “the locker room was very happy, a victory worth believing in, a victory to believe from the beginning and our strengths as a team can prevail against great rosters and teams with the record that Prague has. I think we have corrected some details regarding the first game, especially in our losses that weighed us down, today we managed to get them to lose a lot of balls, especially with defensive alternatives, different 2v2 situations and the minutes in the zone, I think they have given us oxygen at a time complicated. It is true that at half-time we had a good advantage, we had to correct the offensive rebound and that was the case, we only received two in the second half, but we were also aware that the opponent was going to return. We didn't want that to happen quickly or because of things that depended on us, what we could control, which was taking care of the ball, making good decisions in attack and that each defensive pairing was 200% and I think we have achieved it. Of course, Prague has come close, I think we have known how to endure the rush, suffer and get an important game, a victory that brings us closer to that dream that is still complicated, it is still a very tough group but I think it is a victory worthwhile that the fans must have enjoyed a lot from home on television”.


The player Alba Torrens assessed that “we are very happy with this victory, a very difficult game against a team that is playing very well, that has a lot of talent. I think that we have won this game as a team, there have been many aspects that we have been able to apply on the court. We had prepared the match, we had worked on it before playing it and the match plan came out; We have also known how to hold on to the final minutes when the score was tight and once again from defense, driving the attack with a very offensive and talented team. You have to be happy, make an assessment, see what we can improve and move on”.
