Manolo, first, congratulations for the victory Saturday in the Martin Carpena ...
Well, it was a game that at first appeared very complicated and it is true that there has been a surprise, an unexpected result, but it is also true that as is already approaching the moment of the season, as all teams have an urgent need win.
We are not an exception and sometimes this was the case, the top team as it has a good day or play a tad more relaxed and then you you are presented with an opportunity and we fortunately we have taken.
And the truth is that it has been good, especially in terms of classification ...
Yes, yes, I commented that reached this point in the season, then add up these things.
I believe that the need, sometimes you create the opportunity to win and it is clear that the best is a surprising result for everyone, but it is also true that we were there with the intention of seeking an opportunity.
We did not know if they would present or not, because it is a team that usually does not relax, is a team that always plays hard, which this year had only lost one game in its track against TAU, but hey, it gave those circumstances ... was the fact that we also played very well, that at first it was over and that helped us to be gaining some credibility in ourselves as the party was happening.
The team knew how to manage a small income to the end.
Did you ever doubted the victory?
Well, you always hope, especially when the difference in the score was so short, they were usually four or five or three points, as always expect a push from a team of them, mostly because it is a team of very high quality, then any player can have a run of 2-3 minutes and make you change the sign of the party.
And, of course, even three minutes remaining, they scored and put one over, what happens is that in these last few games we're playing away from home, we're playing especially concentrated and specially organized.
Just at that moment when he could come this uncertainty, we do that we had, because in the next attack got a triple.
So, that puts too much pressure on the local computer because you put on top, but do not get the other team to leave the party and eventually learned to manage an income of 4 or 5 points, as I said before, what you get is that as you approach the end of the game, you think you can win more and the other team know that you have little time to keep playing to the limit and I think that was a bit what happened.
How have you seen the newcomer, Nenad Mijatovic?
Well, I think the first part was pretty good, very good, was quite successful in the shots he did, also quite successful in direction, when passing the ball and perhaps in the second half and went in the fourth quarter and that the party was fairly launched, they were already pushing a lot throughout the track and it showed a bit that does not yet have the proper match fitness, because when the game was well launched, it was obvious that a player is missing parties yet, but we are very happy, the truth is we're very happy, because we think it is the player that long ago we were playing and that we needed.
We now have almost two weeks before he acquires a better physical condition, to know the systems better and the truth is that we are very optimistic about it.
Does the CB Murcia is at its best?
Well, I do not know and it is most difficult to speak of ourselves, because we have not ever to have continuity throughout the competition.
Then, it is very difficult to say, there are now over a break of fifteen days and the feelings within fifteen days as well and not revert to the mimas we have now or not, or if they are, because after a win against a team so large that also gives you confidence.
I do not know, is very difficult for me to answer this question, but there is no doubt that winning a game like this, as we have won, makes you think that if you compete at your best, you have options everywhere.
I think it was a game in which people came out very happy and very satisfied as well Unicaja win even if they do not have the best day is never easy, as I said that this year there has only won TAU.
Well, let's see, is a question that now I have a clear answer.
It has found this a great step toward permanence.
Do you see now closer?
First you get to thinking you have to be out of the last two, because that theory that the latter is not down, until it is absolutely confirmed that the team is likely to get to the plaza, which is Obradoiro , is not going to buy, it's just pure speculation.
Then, think about it, think we have to be out of those last two relegation places and well, I think as has been shown every week and especially how we have been us in the future of the competition, is clear is that from one week to another is a world, ie in terms of our personality, in terms of our performance and in terms of competition, because no doubt you fit the best here on they will be many surprises, because there is a need dying in one of the teams.
Then he will play with a lot of tension and sorely needed and that sometimes makes them produce results that are not very predictable, such as perhaps our own, and I think you have to fight because they are outside these two teams and well, there are ten games and we should not go beyond the next game.
Do you think that the environment has been desperate too soon, even though you noted that the season would be too complicated?
I particularly think that's what happened.
It is also very personal opinion, but I think that from the beginning that was the message that was released for reasons known to all as well, but it seems that when we have seen during the relegation season, has spread alarm and has lost track of reality and the notion of reality is what it is, this team is a team with one of the lowest budgets, if not the second, the first or the third-lowest in the category and this so, and we knew that up to the last few days we will be involved in positions of danger.
So, I have the ability to control the environment and I think crowd control is impossible, although some believe they have it under control, but I think there are certainly a lot more excitement around us and a lot more tension, a lot more negativity and very Poquita patience, very little quiet.
So I think this for the team is not good and, particularly, I'm noticing in the games we're playing at home.
Symptomatic, but the games we're playing away from home we are playing very well, no good, very good, because in Menorca and Malaga, we played very well and yet at home can feel a tension, because of course when you four down and still have twenty minutes, it seems that the game is lost and lives an atmosphere of negativity that since then is transferred to the staff in the field.
I do not know what the solution to this, it is best that the solution is for us to spend all twenty-point win games, but it is clear that this is not going to get.
So, I hope these results we are getting out of the house serve to calm a bit all this tension and so that everyone takes what is our reality.
Whoever does not want to assume that this is our reality, because it certainly has a problem and we have another because it is transmitted to us when we are here in the pavilion.
Finally, have you already closed the chapter on transfers?
No, we are always aware of what can happen, well I think it has to be.
A club like us, I think everybody in general, you always have to be very attentive to see if there's that part that can help improve the team and I think that in that sense, the club continues, Paco (Guillermo) follows in that task.
I certainly I can not because I have enough with what I have, but Paco is continuously in this task and I think all teams in the league right now, which is fighting above or below that is struggling, the whole Everybody wants to find that piece you finalize a bit to finish the puzzle you have in your team and we are in the same, we will not stop because we know that at any time we find a player who will help us a bit more or what we has occurred, a problem of injury that makes you have to resort to signing on the market.
