Tomorrow, Wednesday the 11th at 11:45, Real Betis Basketball will play their second friendly match of the season. It will be played at the Movistar Academy Magariños in Madrid (Calle de Serrano 127, Chamartín, 28006), with open doors and free admission.
After emerging victorious in the first friendly test against Sheffield Sharks and a match in the Spanish Cup against Club Melilla Baloncesto, Movistar Estudiantes will be the third big test to see the shape of the team. Coach Gonzalo García de Vitoria said about this preseason: “We approach this game as it is, a preseason game, a preparation game. Moreover, in this atypical preseason, the games are the competition for the Spanish Cup.”
“We know that we are facing a strong opponent but we don’t want to change our planning because of this and we know that we arrived with tired legs. We worked on three very difficult ones session and little rest,” the coach also noted, talking about the high demands of this preseason and tomorrow’s game.
Tomorrow’s game is a good opportunity to face an opponent of a very similar level, who last year we faced 7 times, twice in the regular season and then a playoff that continued until fifth game. It’s time not to think about the score and instead to improve the most important parts of the game, facing the start of the league, as our coach said: “I hope to see a little evolution in this that game, especially offensively because I. think that “That aspect is where we have the most problems. On a defensive level I’m happy with what I saw in the last two games.” He also warned of the offensive power of Movistar Estudiantes, where we hope ours can shine.
We hope to achieve a good victory tomorrow at the Movistar Academy Magariños Sports Center, although the important thing is to improve and improve as much as possible in the next match of the Spanish Cup against CB Starlabs Moron on Sunday in San Pablo Pavilion in Seville, our first meeting as locals.
