"We have to try to ensure that we can connect with the fans from the very first day. In fact, we have discussed internally that this is an important point this year so that together we can all be stronger," said the Valladolid forward, who also highlighted the "good atmosphere" in the locker room and the "good feelings" generated by a preseason that is entering its final stretch. "There has been a lot of change, and those who have arrived are willing to contribute whatever is necessary for the good of the team," González added.
Casademont will therefore play its final friendly this coming Sunday at the Príncipe Felipe against UCAM Murcia, in a game that will serve as the team’s presentation match in front of the Marea Roja. "It is a very tough test, and we are delighted to play it in front of our fans. I think it will be a competitive game that will help us improve," said the Valladolid player, who will begin his fourth season with the Aragonese club this year.
Despite the good impression and performances produced by the team in preseason, the forward said that although "a club like Zaragoza has to be as high up as possible," they should not get carried away by expectations: "For now, I would not set any particular objective. We have to see how the team progresses, and from there we will be able to identify the team’s real objectives."
"I EXPECT MORE FROM MYSELF"
Regarding his individual level, González said he is feeling "good," but hopes to improve his performance this season: "I expect more from myself than I did last year because I don’t think I had a good season. So I want to take a step forward in whatever the coach asks of me, because I will be ready to do whatever is needed."
"In the end, what matters to me is winning, seeing people happy and seeing the arena enjoy a good year. That is my personal objective," admitted the Valladolid player, who, in addition to playing at small forward, could help out at the power forward position in Casademont’s schemes.
