In terms of scoring, Tima Pouye shines (12.3 points and 6 rebounds), an outside player with the ability to load the rebound despite her height.

Maeva Djaldi-Tabdi (15.3 points and 5.8 rebounds) has been one of the most outstanding in this European start, while Kariatou Diaby, the top rebounder so far (7.3), could be out due to injury.

The Spar Girona

Juste Jocyte explained at the press conference that “although the team is happy to have won everything so far, there is a very fine line between happiness and overconfidence. We have talked about it, we have not achieved anything yet and we are at the beginning of the season and I do not know how we will do in the future but we are working well”.

Regarding the opponent, Íñiguez remarked that “they are a team with a culture of physical play, very athletic and tough defense and with a very high level of contact. We have to set the bar very high for them too, because otherwise they will not feel comfortable. They come from a league with a very high physical level and for me this is the most important point”.

Regarding the situation of Arica Carter, who did not play in Badalona, ​​Íñiguez explained that “we have to see if she can come to help.”
