"We're doing well and are very excited that all of this is about to begin. We had several months of preparation and we're very happy with the work we did," said Brussino, who will compete for Casademont again after five years in Gran Canaria. He also highlighted the serious and convincing performance delivered by the Zaragoza side in their presentation game against UCAM Murcia: "Last Sunday we showed what this team can offer."
Thus, following a preseason filled with encouraging signs that inspire optimism and excitement, García de Vitoria's team will make its league debut at a difficult venue against a strong opponent in Tenerife: "The league doesn't wait for you; you have to be ready from the start. Any team can beat you, and you can also beat anyone, so it's about trusting the process and continuing to improve day by day."
For that reason, the Argentine forward does not believe in setting targets at the start of the campaign, preferring to "take it one day at a time." "We know what kind of team we are, as well as the ability and talent we have, but the league is very difficult these days. Every team has prepared very well, and we have to focus on our work before seeing how the results unfold," said the new Zaragoza No. 9, who nevertheless also stressed that "the club has put together an ambitious project, and we have to rise to the occasion."
THE LOCKER ROOM
All of this comes within a completely revamped team that has added as many as eight new players and retained just four members of last year's squad. Even so, Brussino highlighted the positive atmosphere in the locker room as a crucial factor ahead of the new season. "I think everyone joined the locker room very well. Some of us already knew each other, which also makes adapting easier, and I think the team is doing very well both personally and collectively," concluded the Argentina international.
