"I don't want to think about it because there is still a long way to go, but obviously we will support her. In the end, it's a great opportunity for her, and I think that if any of us had the same opportunity, we would have taken it too. Basketball only lasts for certain years, so you have to seize an opportunity like this, and we are very happy for her," Oma said of the red-and-black captain, with whom she has shared all the success achieved at the Aragonese club in recent years.
In this way, Mariona remains just as crucial and important within a team that is still taking shape. "We are in a situation where we have to continue building ourselves. It is true that last year we had much more time to do so, so our day-to-day work is focused on laying foundations that identify us as a team," said the Catalan forward, stressing that the team is focused on "giving our best in every practice and, above all, in games, so that they help us continue improving."
Casademont's next stop will be this Wednesday, when it visits Gernika at the Maloste arena, where it has suffered four consecutive defeats. "It's a small arena where the crowd applies pressure and you really feel it. We have to be aware of who we are facing and bring out the best in ourselves," the Catalan forward stressed, also highlighting "the importance of changing this poor run" that the Aragonese club is enduring.
OMA'S STEP FORWARD
Within Carlos Cantero's squad, Helena Oma has taken an evident step forward, going from barely featuring during the first three parts of last season to becoming another piece in the red-and-black team's plans. "I try to give the team my best version. In the end, I'm happy with how the team's dynamic is developing with my teammates. Both the staff and my teammates, as well as Marea Roja, make me feel very supported," Oma said.
