Carla Brito on Casademont Zaragoza's Super Cup: "It's a very big weekend for us"

Although it is the tournament that opens the season, with teams still without all their players and squads continuing to gel, Casademont Zaragoza will compete this weekend for a title worth as much as any other: the Super Cup. Carla Brito made that clear while speaking to the media during the traditional offering to the Virgin of the Pillar and subsequent reception at Zaragoza City Hall held by the Aragonese club on Tuesday.

"It's another title. For me, it's the first time I can experience it, and I'm really looking forward to playing with the team," said the Canary Islands player, who, alongside her teammates, will wrap up preseason this Wednesday with their final friendly against Azul Marino, a newly promoted side widely tipped to be the league's surprise team this season. "I think we're heading in a very good direction and are really eager to get started," she added.

In this way, the game against the Balearic club will help Casademont Zaragoza make the final adjustments to a squad that will face Valencia Basket in the Super Cup semifinals this Saturday at 17.15, with the aim of retaining the title the Aragonese club won last season in Huesca. "We have to prepare as well as we can for what lies ahead this weekend, which is a very big one for us, with the first title of the season," Brito emphasized.

All this comes after an unusual preseason in which Cantero has gradually welcomed back her international players and has therefore had to work for several weeks without a number of key pieces. "It has been a little strange because we have been missing quite a few players, but I think we are building the team and heading in the right direction," the Canary Islands player said about a team that will add Nadia Fingall this week and Ornella Bankolé next week.
