MADRID, 7 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The player of the Spanish team, Jaime Fernández, recognized the workload that they have these days and the demand in setting up for the Eurobasket in September, while confessing that he prefers not to think about the list of 12 and explained “the pressure” to wear the Spain shirt.
“Good feelings, tired, but at the same time we are having a great time. A lot of work, a lot of demand, but we are a family and we had a great time on the track and outside,” he said this Sunday after another training session in Madrid.
The Madrid base confessed that they have to take advantage of every day under Sergio Scariolo and, in his case, he does not think about whether he will be on the list of 12 players who will go to the continental event. “We have to build a team in a short time and that’s what we’re working on. It’s been difficult on the track, there are a lot of us too, we’re picking up pace and sensations,” he said.
“Here I come without those expectations, it doesn’t help me to think if I’m going to join the team or not. So I leave those expectations for others, I focus on the moment, on the day to day and if I enter within 12 great and if not, then nothing happens”, he added.
On the other hand, Fernández valued the incorporation of Lorenzo Brown. “Very well, he has adapted quickly to the team. The language is not being a problem at the moment and we have welcomed him very well and he has also done a lot to integrate into the family. We are delighted with him,” he said.
“The pressure exists whenever you put on this shirt. It is clear that it is no longer that we are required to win every game, but we are required to maintain a bit of the legacy that has been marked here from other generations. The way of competing, the way of being all together, the fact of being a family is something that is required of us. Beyond winning or losing, there are certain things that we have to keep in mind, “he concluded.
