It’s a difficult process and I think I’m getting it little by little, I’m still working on it and coming to the national team has also helped me to continue to trust and to start the season better and more rolled,» he commented on his current moment. 

This weekend he will play the last two preparation matches in what has become his new home as it is the Príncipe Felipe. «It’s very special for me because many people are going to come to see us and we’re going to feel it a lot when they cheer us on. Knowing the fans makes you know how special it is to play in this pavilion,» he said.

On overcoming the final screening and being in the World Cup, he said that «I am taking this concentration very differently from how it was at the Olympic Games.» «I’m thinking about improving my knee and I want to have a good feeling after such a difficult season. I don’t think about being in the World Cup, but about feeling like a player again,» she added.

On what makes Casademont Zaragoza unique, the center stressed that «we are a team that has to work hard to win games» and that is how it is formed as a family in the squad that makes the red team so special.
