About the opponent

The Czech team arrives after falling hard at home to Tango Bourges ( 43 to 78 ). Despite this last result, their balance of two wins and two losses (2-2) may be misleading, as they have a top-level squad.

In recent weeks, ZVVZ USK Praha has added Canadian Bridget Carleton, one of the WNBA’s standouts, bringing even more foreign talent to the team. Among other outstanding players, Valeriane Ayayi (14 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game), Maïa Astier (12.3 points and 5.5 assists) and the young interior Janelle Salaun stand out.

Regarding the rival, the coach explained at the press conference that Prague “is a much-needed rival. At the heights we are at, they will not come to Girona to lose. They are a team made for maximum goals. Prague is better now because they have incorporated Carleton. They are starting to be the team that will end the season and we will see a five with a lot of power”.

The team

Spar Girona faces the duel after having overcome VBW Gdynia at home and competing at a good level in the first European matches. In the first leg, the Girona team won on the court of ZVVZ USK Praha by 60 to 75 .

“We asked ourselves what we did well in Prague, why we won there. What we answer sets the path we have to take in the match. Then there will be three or four details, but the most important thing is to be dynamic and active. We have to do it,” commented Íñiguez.

Regarding the fans, Íñiguez explained that “we have to play whether one, two or three thousand come, but the fans must understand that their support is vital, that it reaches the players. I understand that there are many expenses and for that I am super grateful to everyone who comes.”
