Frankly, I didn’t really know what I was doing on the pitch, but that’s what I remembered for the matches to come. The most important thing is to be ready for the season. »

Sometimes I offered them systems, when the big point to improve was my ability to be ready when the point guard announces a system and to stay connected. he continues, before discussing the competition itself. “It’s a special organization. We don’t have too much time to warm up. Collectively, I don’t think it was our best skill match. We have to adapt to it, because that’s how it is…”
