Challenge for BAXI Manresa to visit the Real Madrid court
Visit to the court of the leader of the Liga Endesa and the Euroleague, who is proving intractable in almost every game. The team from Bages has all its men available at the moment, and one will have to be discarded.
BAXI Manresa will visit, this Sunday starting at 12:30 (M+ Deportes and Ràdio Manresa), one of the most complicated courts in the competition, that of Real Madrid. Pedro Martínez's team, which has three consecutive victories, will seek to surprise the whites and show that it wants to continue fighting for the first places.
Pedro Martínez will have to decide again which player he leaves out of the squad for this Sunday's game. The team is recovering from the intense match played last Saturday in Girona, where a victory was achieved to the limit. Therefore, the good dynamic continues and now it is put to the test on one of the most impassable tracks in the league, a challenge for the Nou Congost team.
The team led by Chus Mateo are the most in-form team, leading both the Liga Endesa, with a balance of 23 wins and 3 losses, and the Euroleague. The Madridistas have only been defeated once at the WiZink Center this season in the domestic competition, against Unicaja. Madrid is a team full of great players on the European scene, such as Edy Tavares, Facu Campazzo, Dzanana Musa, Vincent Poirier, Mario Hezonja and former Manresan Sergio Llull, among others.
Pedro Martínez: «We are encouraged and hoping to have a good game, recovering the players physically; What is most obvious is that they are a team with a lot of offensive talent, but I also highlight that they are a team that defends very well: they are aggressive, their strategy is very good and you are never at ease; They are having a good season because they have a lot of effort in defense; We need to go in with a good mentality, and if we play a great game we can have a chance."
