Words from Dani Miret after Joventut Badalona’s defeat to Rio Breogana
Dani Miret He appeared at the press conference after Joventuta Badalona’s 70-76 defeat to Rio Breogana, Pena’s third defeat in a row after losing to Casademonta Zaragoza in extra time and in the European Cup by 23 points against Wolves from Vilnius.
These were the words of Dani Miret:
“First of all, congratulations to Rio Breoghan and thank you to the people who supported us today. There was a moment in the third quarter where we noticed a lot and it gave us the energy we needed because we are at a point where our irregularity and inconsistency is preventing us from playing with confidence. When you play at home and only make 21 three-pointers
If you watch the game and see that Joventut Badalona played consistently with two fives in the paint, but they were not consistent in many other situations that depend not on these positions, but on attacking the paint, forcing the other team to rotate and have determination and confidence within yourself to create and play convincingly. It costs us a lot because I think we have more energy defensively. It’s clear that we have this energy on defense, but when the opposing team takes 14 offensive rebounds from you, you gradually lose it. A combination of factors prevents us from being regular, competitive and achieving the level of play required to win these matches.
We must restore the mentality. We have players who play good games these weeks, but we also have other games where we see a lot of disruption later on. This is what worries us. What can we do about the feeling that every mistake upsets us or that every problem drains our energy? Play better. Because when we play better, collectively and control our ups and downs, it also stifles us. We need to work on automaticity because there are times when some players don’t help each other or end up getting in each other’s way, we have to put them in their place. We need to be strong in many aspects and when you play well you concentrate. As a result of the losses we’ve had lately, things have happened to us that have affected us, but they shouldn’t affect us from continuing to work and continuing to compete. We must continue to resolutely do what will lead us to the right path.
