Both couples found what they were looking for in the basket and were satisfied with the material for Sunday. /
It is the only title that is missing, but Altuna III is not “obsessed” with it and prefers to focus on the duel against Elezkano II and Zabaleta del Bizkaia
It is the only title that is missing to enter the group of chosen ones who have the treble, but Altuna III knows that his time will come. “I am sure that one day I will win the Couples txapela”, he highlighted yesterday in the choice of material for the first match of the semifinals group of the Bizkaia fronton. However, Amezketa’s is something that doesn’t keep him up at night. “I’m not obsessed or overly excited about getting it.” He prefers to focus on the most immediate. “On doing my job and giving it my all.”
And the next thing is the duel that together with Martija will play on Sunday against Elezkano II and Zabaleta. “I would sign to start winning because I have never done it and it would be a nice step forward.” But the Gipuzkoan knows that at this stage of the championship it is not so important how you start but how you finish. “If we win, we don’t have to throw the bells on the fly, and if we lose, we don’t have to sink either. We have to reach the last day with options to be in the final and we are going to try », he stressed.
They are in a good dynamic, but they are faced with a combination “that commands, does not give away and does everything well. They had a bit of a bump, but they’ve put things back together again.” In the quarterfinals they managed to beat the Biscayan and the Navarrese twice, but that is history. “It is only valid to know that if we do things well we can repeat it, but a lot of work will have to be done.”
The one from Zaratamo and the one from Etxarren need “a perfect match” to have options for the first point to fall on their side. “When Altuna III is on the pitch he is capable of doing anything from anywhere. That is why he is the best », pointed out Elezkano II. Trying to make him uncomfortable will be his goal.
Be brave
They have to match. The defender must dominate and the forward, “be brave and go into the shot without fear.” “We will try to make it a different meeting from the previous ones.” The last three victories harvested have allowed them to regain confidence. “We arrived calmer and livelier because things turned out for us,” confirmed Zabaleta. But the bodyguard is aware that the league “will be very tough.” Both combinations found what they were looking for in the basket, so the material will not be an excuse.
