Last year, the UCAM Murcia CB broke a curse that had since birth: win at the Palau.
The university team achieved, for the first time, a victory in the FC Barcelona Lassa pavilion.
"We know the difficulty of the match, and we know the level of a team that has been made to win everything.
They have a great coach, a great squad and a great social mass.
We have to try to reach the last quarter with match options, "said Javi Juárez.
The Catalans come to harvest their first defeat, last week, against Montakit Fuenlabrada .. Juarez knows that to stop a team like the Catalan.
"We have to play a very good match in defense if we want to win.
Do not run and do not score easy baskets.
We have to be tough in the defense of five for five, and not have a successful day, "said the Madrid coach.
Before, FC Barcelona Lassa will play in Moscow against the always rubbery Khimki.
"These clubs travel by charter, and they will be at their homes at a normal time.
Travel does not usually deteriorate them, nor can it be an excuse for us.
They have a very long staff, "said Juarez, who has commented that they do not think about the trip to Germany.
"All our sights are on Sunday, at the Palau.
It is a match that can make us climb positions in the classification, "he explained.
The university students want to get rid of the bad taste of mouth of the match against Kirolbet Baskonia, where they could not compete at any time.
"We have it very present and we do not want that to happen, because it was a very painful situation," said the coach, who has positively appreciated the return of Alberto Martin after his injury to the Achilles tendon.
"He has to go little by little, because he comes from a long injury, but he contributes to the group, helps a lot and is a player who understands the game perfectly and can equip the team with rhythm."
Still remains to know if Kevin Tumba will be the game, after his shoulder problems.
"Kevin is making a very big effort, any other player would stop.
He wants to help the team, and if the doctors give the OK, we hope he can help us with his physique and strength, "concluded Javi Juárez.
The game against FC Barcelona Lassa will be played next Sunday, November 11, at 7:30 pm, and will be broadcast live by Movistar + (DIAL 53).
