Like the other day, the team must demonstrate that it has a great talent, plus we were very successful.
I already said that I had seen many statistics before coming Murcia and the truth is I was in a lot of games, just lacked a bit in the end.
I think we are training a very high level, we have confidence in the final game on Sunday and I hope we can continue on the same line, "began exposing.
"I, as usual, entered the game with energy and intention to help the team as you can, speak positive, because I know the situation here is a little difficult, as my first year in the ACB to Manresa, which also were in the same place and, until the end, we were about to go down, "argued the '44 'Murcia, as he added:" I was not powerful in attack, scored only 4 points, but on the track I tried to help my energy and doing things that statistics do not reflect. "
"I think it also helps the team now has a larger bench and there is no pressure to commit mistakes, so you can play on the runway very hard, very hard and ask for change, because you know that if you work and will return to the track in a couple of minutes without lowering the level of play, "said the owner of Edu Torres.

I will continue on the same line, whether I walk 4 minutes, where I will be capped as if I do 20.
The fact is that in Manresa need to play with great intensity and very strong, because the pressure of the step makes it more difficult and they are very good team, very talented as well and are playing good. "
