Wanapix Room 10 will have to wait until Sunday to play their game this day. The team will return to their home court at 12.30 pm to receive the Servigroup Peñíscola and look for their first points of the season, after four defeats in this first month of competition. Despite still not having added up, Wanapix is not losing its head.
The table, now bottomhas had an intense week of training, as their last game was on the 1st in Barcelona. “We are taking advantage of the longest week of training.. Playing on Sunday gives us an opportunity to work on more than just the Peñíscola game,” says Jorge Palos.
Also, is optimistic about the rest they have had during these weeks. “They are very good for us to prepare for what’s ahead. Obviously, it’s already four hard knocks, but there’s still a good working atmosphere. We need to win, to get three points to feel valid, but the group is not looking shaky.” “The week has been very good. Since we started on Monday, we are very motivated. It’s a good week and we’re going to try to win,” he added. Tomi Pescio.
Peniscola arrives at the match after not playing the last day due to the consequences of the DANA.. The team from Castellón has won two of the three matches it has played (4-8 against Quesos El Hidalgo Manzanares and 5-2 against Osasuna Magna) and already knows what it is like to beat Wanapix this year, as the two teams met in preseason (3-1).
“We know the rival; we know they are very intense and have great players. We are going to try to achieve victory by playing our game and being intense,” analyzes Tomi. “Peñíscola is a very difficult opponent. They are an example to look up to. They went up two seasons ago with a solvency similar to ours and, two years later, they have stabilized in the category. Now they are closer to fighting for the top nine places than for relegation. It is a very solid team, with very clear ideasand it’s going to be complicated. Hopefully, playing at home, we will be able to match the pace they already have,” said the coach.
For Sunday, Jorge Palos does not recover any of the three players who are out of action.. Óscar Villanueva and Batería continue to train individually due to their respective injuries, while Raúl López has already started to rejoin the group.
“Raúl will finish the week training with the team. He is a very important player and we have high expectations of him. Óscar and Bateria will remain out indefinitely. Right now, our focus is on the match against Peñíscola and the call-up list will be the same as for the game against Barça if nothing unforeseen happens,” said the coach.
