With an impeccable record of 9-0, Uni Girona is heading into December at the top of the League. This Wednesday, however, they will face a challenge at the always demanding Gernika court, which is in eighth place with a record of 5-4 (7:00 p.m., Teledeporte). The team is in good form, and the match against Celta allowed us to manage minutes. Although we know it will be a demanding match, we have worked well and have been able to adjust ourselves”, explained Íñiguez at the pre-match press conference.
Very demanding
Roberto Íñiguez is clear that the match against Lointek Gernika Bizkaia, corresponding to matchday 10 of the LF Endesa, will not be just any match. And the Basques, at home, “have had excellent results. They feel confident and know how to exploit their strengths. They also have weaknesses, but to find them you have to be very good. We will have to be solid, consistent and with the ability to defend until the last second”.
“The priority is in the paint, both in terms of the low post and in the associations and offensive rebound. They will defend in the zone for many minutes, and they will change, without letting us get the rhythm. They are immense, they collapse you, they pressure you and make you think. In addition, Maloste looks like a matchbox. The court is like any other, but the sensations are different. I really love competing there. But we will have to try to make the rhythm resemble what we want, and not what they want”, said our coach when asked about what he expects from the match.
A new motivation
Regarding the 9 consecutive victories in the LF Endesa and the motivation of the teams to beat us, Íñiguez believes that “for us it must be a motivation, not a pressure. And I always say the same thing, you are what you do every day. “Because we have won 9 games we are nothing. We are what we have trained for. And tomorrow we will be what we will do tomorrow. What we have is very good, but it is not useful for the next day.”
