«It is a final. You have to win yes or yes to keep hope »

The margin of error has been exhausted for Ezkurdia and Tolosa in the Couples. In the absence of six days for the conclusion of the league, the Arbizu and his partner have the last chance to hold on to the championship on Saturday at the Labrit fronton in Pamplona. «It is a final. You have to win yes or yes to maintain hope and continue in the fight, “said the Navarrese striker. They face Altuna III and Martija, who will play for the first time in this tournament on the Navarran court, and who arrive with a streak of three consecutive wins.

But those who will wear blue are almost equal to the rival. They need to think only of themselves. “We have to put speed, play aggressive and fearless.” Given their situation in the standings with only one point and two of the sixth place that gives the option to play the play-off they have little to lose. The pressure is for others. «You can no longer go out to speculate or defend. We must go on the attack, “he added. To the open grave.

The improvement shown in the game in recent games has not been reflected in the table due to different details, but they still have one bullet left. In the previous one they ended up with “grief and rage” after falling to the leaders on the same stage, “but we gave another image and played something else. Better. With another character and the sensations were better ».

They need to maintain the intensity throughout the crash. So far they have lost steam after the first mandatory break – both twelve. «The rivals have taken advantage of us without doing much and we have not been able to hold them. We need to be constant and do things well to be in the fight until the end, ”Ezkurdia stressed.

They know they have a difficult duel against “one of the favorite combinations.” “It is a very compensated and solid couple, but if we manage to translate our proposal we will have options to win,” he concluded.

Urrutikoetxea, in Buñuel

Altuna III and Martija arrive on a roll and want to maintain the sensations. They only look at the next clash “because three weeks ago we were evicted and now it seems that we have options to be up,” stressed the forward of Amezketa, who yesterday attended the lesson alone because his partner had an exam. He admits that his next rivals have been close to victory many times and have not achieved it, “and when you accumulate losses it conditions you.” “But they work a lot and, although they have been unlucky up to now, if we lower our level a bit, we all win.”

The choice of material went smoothly, although Ezkurdia acknowledged that the balls they are playing with lately “don’t have much sparkle.” Those chosen by both combinations were quite similar.

There were also no complaints at the Manolo Malo de Buñuel fronton where Urrutikoetxea and Aranguren will face Laso and Imaz tomorrow (10 pm). It is a fast fronton with a concrete floor in which most of the protagonists have never played, so it will be necessary to see how they adapt. Especially the defenders. Because both combinations will seek to charge back to open holes so that the forwards can enter the auction.
