"We are very focused on giving our best," says Yarden Garzon at her Casademont Zaragoza presentation

Although Mariona Ortiz's case has dominated the headlines surrounding Casademont Zaragoza in recent days, Yarden Garzon was presented Thursday as the club's new player. The Israeli forward, who has been part of the squad since the first day of preseason, repeatedly stressed that the main goal for Carlos Cantero's team at this early stage of the season is to "give our best."

"We are very focused on giving our very best to improve every day in whatever is necessary and reach a point where we feel good as a team so we can compete together and understand each other as well as possible on the court," said Garzon, who felt very welcomed from her first day in the Aragonese capital "by the fans, the coaches and my teammates."

In this way, the red-clad club will get its league and EuroLeague campaigns underway next week after the disappointment of the Spanish Super Cup. "It was disappointing because we lost the first game and wanted to win. That said, I know we have a lot ahead of us. We are putting that aside and thinking about the future. We have many goals ahead of us this year and we want to achieve them," the Israeli forward said.

All of this will take place under the direction of Carlos Cantero, who will once again be the main captain of the red-clad ship. "I feel that we are now building our relationship. I understand that he needs me to build the best team possible and for me to help the team in the best way I can. I feel that I can talk to him about anything and that he can do the same with me," the Israeli said of the Madrid-born coach.

PERSONAL GOALS

"Zaragoza are one of the best teams in Europe and, in my first year as a professional, I want to improve every day. I am very grateful to be able to compete and wear these uniforms. All I want is to step onto the court, learn a lot from our veteran teammates and give everything so the team can succeed," Garzon stressed. She also expressed her excitement at being able to play in front of the Red Tide and thus "be part of that atmosphere" at the Felipe.
