After falling in Hungary 85-73 in the first leg, the Girona team will need to overcome a 12-point deficit against Pecs, who already showed their strength in the first match.<\/p><p>Coach Roberto \u00cd\u00f1iguez hasn\u2019t hidden the complexity of the moment: &#8220;I think that in terms of resources and squad conditions, we are not in the best shape, that\u2019s the reality. But we will try. I don\u2019t know if we\u2019ll have eight senior players, maybe seven, we\u2019re still not sure. The situation is complicated, but we will definitely try. Because the group makes you believe in them, by what they give off, by their work. They\u2019ve stuck together, fighting since September, pushing through one setback after another.&#8221;<\/p><p><strong>The Opponent<\/strong><br>Pecs has a strong roster, led by Julia Reisingerov\u00e1, a former fan favorite at Fontajau, who was key in the first leg with 24 points, 6 rebounds, and a rating of 27. Alongside her, Studer (20 points and 4 three-pointers) and Held (19 points) maintained an offensive level that made things difficult for the Girona team.<\/p><p>Despite the challenges, Uni Girona knows what it\u2019s like to beat Pecs at home. They did it in the group stage, defeating them 79-72 in a tight match. However, this result wouldn\u2019t be enough to overturn the tie, meaning an even more inspired performance from the Girona team will be needed. &#8220;We need to be very good up front and push our limits without the screw giving way,&#8221; \u00cd\u00f1iguez has warned, referring to the team\u2019s delicate physical state.<\/p><p>The coach also praised his players&#8217; sacrifice: &#8220;Given everything we\u2019ve been through, being 14-2 in the league feels like a miracle and an achievement. We\u2019re going to the Cup as leaders and we\u2019re still alive in Europe. This is a feat that deserves to be recognized.&#8221;<\/p><p>&#8220;What keeps me going are the players, for their attitude, whether we win or lose. We will try with everything, but we must be realistic. This team deserves a monument,&#8221; said \u00cd\u00f1iguez, with the determination of a team that knows that, although it\u2019s difficult, nothing is impossible.<\/p><p>This Thursday at 7:30 PM, Fontajau will experience a night full of emotions. It\u2019s time to fight, it\u2019s time to believe. Uni Girona is ready to give it their all.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Thursday at 7:30 PM (tickets available), Fontajau will witness one of the biggest challenges of the season for Uni Girona.
