This appearance has also served to see Carlos Cantero again at the Prince Felipe facilities after his paternity leave. The Madrid coach was very happy about his return to work at Casademont Zaragoza and commented that «I really wanted to be back after having missed that final part of the season and that makes me come back with more enthusiasm».
On the preparation, which began on Monday, she can hardly answer because «there are only seven players and we have to wait little by little to be able to count on the rest». «I’m going to individualize the work a lot and we’re going to try to get those who are there to reach the optimal physical level and at the track level, trying to automate the concepts,» he added about what will be worked on the most in the preseason.
In terms of objectives, he preferred not to answer, but he did assure that «the ambition is still maximum to compete in all competitions», but until he has the entire squad he does not want to throw the bells in the air.
THE SQUAD
Cantero has not hidden his satisfaction for «having maintained the block» in most of his current squad. «As for the additions, it is a mistake to think that they are replacements because every year we have had different teams. It is obvious that there are similar things, but there are always different strengths and weaknesses and I think we have a great team,» he stressed.
On those strengths or weaknesses he does not dare to answer yet for the lack of personnel, however, he has mentioned that the profiles of Brito or Garzón «can generate uncertainty» because they come from the NCAA and it is their first year as professionals.
As a final analysis of his new roster, he did mention the fact that the current market is becoming even more complicated when it comes to adding new players. «It’s true that last year players who had won the Euroleague or Eurocup came and this year we don’t have it. But it is not because they did not look for it, but because the market has become even more complicated and replacements are impossible to find. I think we have to change the perspective and we have to understand that the players come and go. But I think there are enough wickets to see the full potential of this team in the future,» he concluded.
