Iturregi recovers to Erika Y Lucy, without a doubt two very important ‘reinforcements’ for the remainder of the season.
The team is in a positive dynamic after a balance of three victories, one draw and one defeat in the last five games, but the next two commitments, against the armeras and next weekend against Logroño in Lezama, are very important to win in tranquility because they are two direct rivals. “After the two games we have now, Tourmalet comes to us.

Iturregi She pointed out the aspects in which her team has improved: “I have seen the most daring players, more comfortable with the ball. You have to give a team time to improve with the ball. I see that the team takes risks, if you want to win you have to. Before they were scared and now they have no problems. From set pieces we are also doing damage, something important because it is increasingly difficult to do damage in game situations. He's giving us points. The players see that the things they train come out of them, confidence has been going on for a long time ”.
If the team is like in the previous days, it will compete well

If the team is like in the previous days, it will compete well, “he said.
Eibar comes from beating Real at home, but previously they had linked a losing streak of seven defeats and three draws in ten games. Even so, Iturregi He highlighted his virtues: “Eibar believes a lot in the work they do, Dorronsoro has been able to get the most out of a team that has worked very well.

Iturregi He has also referred to the Cup final that the men's team will play tomorrow against Barça. “We live it with the same tranquility as the previous one. Now there is more pessimism, but I have the same confidence. For me it is a merit of milk to be in 8 finals in the last 12 years. If everyone played with our philosophy, I would already like to see which teams would have reached this number of finals ”.
The Women's coach sends all her support to her teammates. “I have lived endings in which we have not been able to capture all the work done in the field, to go home with the feeling that you have not been yourself. I send them all my support and confidence and I am convinced that they will compete well, they have a lot of merit for what they are doing. I have saved the bottle of champagne from the previous final, I hope to be able to uncork it first because we won and then because of their triumph ”, he stated.
