The girls led by Rubén Burgos currently occupy second place in the ranking
Today comes the 20th round of the Endesa Women’s League, which means that Hozono Global Jairis returns to Fausto Vicent, after two consecutive matches away from Alcantarilla. The club from Murcia faces one of the toughest matches on the calendar, against the mighty Valencia Basket (6 p.m.).
The girls led by Rubén Burgos currently occupy second place in the table, with 15 wins and 4 losses, behind only Spar Girona (16-3). In addition, they confirmed their passage to the Euroleague quarter-finals this Wednesday, after beating Poland’s Polkowice in La Fonteta (69-64).
No doubt another extremely difficult clash, despite the fact that the ‘taronja’ team will go to Alcantarilla with significant losses, such as those of Alba Torrens, Raquel Carrera or the recent divorce of Bec Allen. The local team for its part will basically have all its troops at its disposal and will go into battle in 14th position with 7 victories and 12 defeats. He must flee from the hot zone of the table as quickly as possible.
It’s time to take note of what happened in the first leg, where Valencia Basket, after a great first part of the drains, earned just five minutes of disconnection to kill the game (92-60). In this sense, the coach of Jairista, Eric Surís, expressed himself. “At La Fonteta we played a very good game, we were tied for almost 30 minutes, and in the end they broke the game in four or five bad minutes, and in the last quarter they established differences,” he recalled.
Surís appealed to the important role of a newly full Fausto, which can also be differential. “We know it’s going to be a great basketball atmosphere,” he said.
