Emlak Konut is a team that has been working with the same basketball idea for some time and that has high-level players such as Mavunga, Pallas Kunaiyi-Akpanah, Lindsay Allen and Lelik, in addition to a group of experienced Turkish players. The Turkish team also comes with confidence after beating Panathinaikos in the first round of the preliminary phase and will look to bring the match to their home ground.
Roberto Íñiguez highlighted precisely this ability of the opponent to play comfortably. “It’s a team that has been working with the same coach for a long time. They have a very clear basketball and are very dangerous if they play comfortably,” explained the coach, who is clear that one of the keys will be “to prevent them from playing their basketball.”
One step forward
SPAR Girona is still in the middle of a construction process, with just a few weeks of joint work and with mechanisms and automation still to be consolidated. Íñiguez acknowledged that the team is “green”, but also noted that the importance of the match forces us to take a step forward. “We have to try with more heart and above all compete better than in the last few matches”, he pointed out.
The coach has emphasized unity, energy and effort, as well as the need to play with clarity, courage and verticality. The rebound will be another important aspect in a match in which each possession will have a special weight. With Fontajau as the stage, SPAR Girona will seek to give its best version and get the ticket to play, for another year, the highest European competition.
