La Rioja – Veszprém expectations before CL match


Carlos Ortega: La Rioja is one of the best at fast break, therefore we have to be careful. The other main reason why we really respect this team is that they are very tactical at offence. We have started to focus only on this match on Wednesday. And we tried to prepare as much as possible. I am sure that we will have a tough game.

Timuzsin Schuch: We have started the preparation against La Rioja on Wednesday as we had matches in the SEHA League and in the Hungarian Championship as well. Although, we had practiced already some combinations on previous training sessions which we can use against the spanish team as well. I expect a very tough game as the second best spanish team is our opponent. The stakes are very high so we can’t have a bad day. We want to have a significant difference already to the end of the first match.


Gergő Iváncsik: La Rioja is a very fast and strong team. But there is nothing new under the sun for us as we are playing based on the same system for some years. (since the Spanish trainers are there – editor’s comment) La Rioja represents the typical „Spanish school” and they do it great. They are pretty good and fast both at defence and offence. So it won’t be easy to win. Of course, our aim is the victory therefore we have to concentrate 100 percent but not only for 60 minutes but for 70-80 minutes as we will play against a very strong opponent.

Andreas Nilsson: It will be a tough game. La Rioja has a good team with fast players who run a lot. We have to give 100 percent on the court if we want a positive result. First of all, we have to be very good at defence and react with fast breaks to their mistakes and last but not least we have to run back as soon as possible after our offences.
