first stop

The senior will play the first of three games in eight days

| Friday, 27 September 2019

After sealing the first victory of the season, the men led by Àlex Formento will play the first match as visitors at the JAFEP FG La Roda court next Saturday 28 (7:00 p.m.). The meeting in La Roda will be the first stop of the Tourmalet that the senior will experience next week – he will play three games in eight days -.

JAFEP FG La Roda will play for the third consecutive year in the bronze division of state basketball. Last season he played in the first phase in the senior group, but that team shares few similarities with the group he will face on Saturday. In fact, neither the coach nor any of the members that made up the staff at the time have remained.

The team from the province of Albacete is led by Sergio Vicente, who last year coached Isover Azuqueca, also in the East group of LEB Plata. The technician manages a reinforced group with LEB Silver, EBA and LEB Gold members. Although the director and the actors are new, in the first game of the league, La Roda showed that the outside shot will again be one of the main offensive resources, as it was last year (he attempted 30 three-pointers and added more points from three -30- than from two -24-). Javier Hernández played a prominent role in this outdoor performance, finishing with 15 points and 8 rebounds (22 rating).

* Statements by Àlex Formento:

“Aware that, in this category, away games are extremely difficult. Along these lines, we are satisfied with the work we did on the first day, but we are cautious in the face of the problems that the rival will surely pose to us”

“We are facing an ambitious opponent led by a coach who did a great job at Isover Azuqueca last season. Although they did not get a good result on the first day, they did know how to compete against club rivals during the pre-season. It won’t be easy”
