Moubru: “The setting is strange due to tradition, we expect a difficult game”

In the negative for the Valencia tradition that has been created in her encounters with Olympicthe coach of the Spanish team stated in his statements, Alex Moubro.

After describing the game as very difficult for his team, he also spoke about the absences, making special mention of Pangos and Anderson.

What the Valencia coach said in detail:



“The scene is already complicated by tradition. All the years we play with Olympiakos at home, we lose. It’s a tough game because they’re a team that’s playing good basketball and they’ve had some big players injured but it looks like Fal will be fine and they’ve also signed Moses Wright.”.

On his team’s injuries: “Toure will be available later than Davies because he is not feeling well, while Brandon is on schedule, but his condition will be reassessed not in days but in weeks. We’re not going to take any chances. They’ll be available when we think they can be, but we’re not going to put them in unless they’re 100% ready. Sometimes, we’ve left a player out even because of discomfort, so they won’t come back until they’re 100% ready.”.

For the possibility of acquiring a player: “Valencia, a team that always has its doors open, is watching the market and the market is still alive. If someone could come to help the team, great. Justin Anderson has come in to help with a lot of games, because if we keep pushing the good guys to play too many games, they’re going to be the ones who get hurt.”.

On the differences between Pangos and Anderson: “Anderson joined the team from the beginning, he understood the systems and his role, which is easier if you have a complementary role, while for Pangos it was more difficult to adapt because he did not compete for two months. Now he is in shape. I am not worried at all about the player’s condition and he is going to help us a lot. We rely on him and he is a player who will soon give us things”.
