About us
SPAR Girona arrives at the match after achieving an important European victory on the Ostrava court by 58 to 86. A match in which Roberto Íñiguez was able to count on Iyana Martín again. With less than 48 hours between matches, fatigue management will be one of the determining factors against a rival with a lot of rotation and a high level of intensity.
The Girona coach explained that the preparation for the match has been conditioned by the short recovery time: “This match is prepared with video and meetings, prioritizing rest”… “For me, with less than 48 hours, we will see how we manage fatigue. It is an unknown how we will respond. We are playing against an intense team, with a lot of rotation. They just won on Tuesday in Istanbul.”
