Barrueta assumes that the Obradoiro, a team that plays in the first Feb (silver category of Spanish basketball), is one of the top favorites to direct ascent to ACB (maximum division of the basketball of Spain).
However, the Cuban is clear that everything will go to grow little by little because the team is still in the preseason “and the year is very long,” he said.
“Now we are not thinking about ascending. We are thinking of training, having the strongest, united team, preparing for the first preseason game,” said the new Obradoirista player, for whom the First Feb’s level has risen since his arrival in Spain.
“First Feb is a competition that has a lot of respect in Europe, with many teams that have come down from ACB,” Barrueta said.
You are convinced that your adaptation will be very easy Because in the Obradoiro wardrobe he will meet four former championships: in addition to EPI on the bench, the OLLE LUNDQVIST players, Goran Huskić and Alex Galán.
