The heavy defeat suffered by Celta Femxa Zorka against Joventut last week in Navia (42-78) was a hard blow for the Vigo team, which after a promising preseason has come face to face with a Women’s League even more demanding than last season. For this reason, the group led by Cristina Cantero visits Cadí La Seu today with the intention of improving the image offered seven days ago and, if everything goes well, add the first victory of the course against a rival that has not won so far either. but it gave different sensations and against two very powerful opponents, Spar Girona (77-80) and Perfumerías Avenida (61-52).
Cantero has moved the eleven players from the first team to Catalan lands, including center Blessing Ejiofor, who played just over four minutes against Joventut after landing in Vigo the day before and today will add a few more, despite the fact that she will have to still carry out their particular preseason. The rest of the team is in perfect condition to try to surprise Cadí on their own track. “Last weekend’s game was difficult, mentally tough for us. We thought we would compete better and it couldn’t be. We have worked hard this week and I think our mentality is to be much more solid, to be better, to not collapse, and that is where our chance of competing will go,” says Cantero.
Celta will face a rival in which two greats competethe point guard Regina Aguilar, who was fundamental in the promotion two years ago and in the permanence of last year, and Ainhoa Lacorzana, who was in Vigo for the longest time and in League 2. Aguilar has been the most used by her coach, Isaac Fernández, in the first two games, in which he contributed an average of 9.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 7 assists, and alongside her stand out Ana Palma, Júlia Soler and the foreigners Baines (13 points per game) and Murekatete (12).
