In this special course for Casademont Zaragoza to celebrate its 25th anniversary, it will also be very nice for Gonzalo García de Vitoria since it will be his first opportunity, without being interim, to train in the elite, something that he himself has responded by stating that «I am sure that no coach in the ACB he will have more motivation and enthusiasm than me«.
«In 2014 I achieved promotion with Ourense to the ACB and in September we were kicked out of the competition, the following year we had another promotion and we didn’t get the money and two years ago with Betis, we were also kicked out after being promoted. The last thing I have is vertigo,» he added about any possible fear of failing this time.
On objectives, he did not want to stress too much because «there are things that cannot be controlled», but he has set two on a personal level: «I want to enjoy this moment and hopefully I can have a career as long as Carlos (Cantero) at this club».
YOUR NEW SQUAD
García de Vitoria began his analysis of the squad by stressing the same as Llompart when highlighting that the vast majority have been first options in the market. «The great common denominator of our additions is that they have all shown great interest in being here and it gives us a certain peace of mind,» he said.
The coach has been a little «worried» about not being able to count on his entire squad (Brussino, Bell-Haynes and Blumbergs are with their national teams) and has assured that this free space in the roster will be filled by homegrown players.
Regarding the style of play, the Basque coach commented that he likes to play with at least two handlers and have many shooters on the court. In addition, he has assured that he prioritises tactics over physicality and «we are working with a team with a lot of IQ», although he has not denied that one of the deficits of his players is going to be that lack of athleticism.
