The staff of the BAXI Manresa will be available for this start of the season in the Nou Congost. Pedro Martínez will direct the last training sessions before his debut this Friday and on Saturday. Although there have been fans from Manresa following the team during the pre-season, it will be the first contact of the players with the Nou Congost.
