The Spanish absolute women’s coach, Miguel Méndez, pointed out this Wednesday, in the preview of the match that will face Iceland in the second qualifying window for the 2023 European Championship, that they are still building the team and that is why each game and training session is ” vital”.
“No one should be underestimated or underestimated. We have to think about ourselves, doing the best basketball we can and giving our best. We are building the team and that is why each training session and game is vital. The players know it and They understand it”, confirmed the coach in statements to the FEB, collected by Europa Press.
The national team, which arrives as the leader of Group C with two victories, hopes to add a victory against Iceland that will bring them closer to the goal and allow them to reach the clash on Sunday against Hungary, in principle, the rival for the first place of the cluster.
“Iceland is a rival with very fast, very aggressive players, who all play wide open. They are a rival that will be very useful for us in preparation for a decisive game like I think Hungary will be. We hope to have two completely different game plans and be able to carry them both out,” he said.
In addition, the coach valued the involvement of his players and analyzed their physical condition. “The involvement of these girls is always 10, I have no doubt, they enjoy playing for the national team and they make everything very easy. Now they are very fit but they also come from playing very competitive games. There are some physical things that affect a little on a day-to-day basis, but we are taking everything and we hope to be at the level in these two games”, he concluded.
