MADRID, Jan. 27 (SportsFinding) –
The Spanish international handball Aleix Gómez has assured that they have taken “a weight off” with the direct classification for the Tokyo Olympics, something achieved with their gold in the European, and explained that the secret of the group is that all they get along “very well” and that Jordi Ribera has granted “confidence” to all his players by giving them minutes.
“Everyone is very happy, it is a burden that we have taken with the Pre-Olympians. Now we have to start fighting for the Olympics,” he said in statements to Europa Press on the arrival of the 'Hispanics' to the Adolfo Suarez airport Madrid-Barajas.
In addition, the right wing of FC Barcelona gave the keys to the success of the 'Hispanics'. “The secret is that we all get along very well and we are one, we help each other and there are no differences between them,” he said, highlighting the “confidence” given by coach Jordi Ribera to all ends of the group. “It has given us all confidence and that is going very well, because it allowed us to reach the European finals fresher than other people,” he said.
Sabadell's was responsible for transforming the seven meters that put Spain ahead in the last minute of the final against Croatia (22-20). “I did not think much, I threw it without more. With Barça I had one in the 'Final Four', but not so at the end of the game,” he said.
Regarding the fact that the Spanish team arrives as one of the favorites in Tokyo, Gomez said that it does not involve added pressure. “I don't think it's pressure. If we work as we are doing, things are going to come out,” he said, before expressing his desire to be on the Olympic date. “It would be great if I could go. I will continue working in my club and see if there is luck,” he concluded.
