Jantunen: “Against Lleida we need to play with a high pace and stick to our identity”
“All games in the league are very challenging, especially when playing away,” explained the power forward.
Jantunen spoke with Realmadrid TV on the day before the game against iLERNA Lleida, corresponding to the fifth round of the Endesa League, which will take place at the Espai Fruita Barris Nord pavilion (Sunday, 7:00 pm CEST; Dazn). The power forward highlighted the team's strong offensive performances: “It comes from our identity, the way we train, and the pace we want to play at. We also have many great players capable of scoring. We play with our own identity, and I believe we can maintain this rhythm.”
“I feel good, with positive sensations because there is still a lot of room for improvement. I feel increasingly comfortable with our style of play and am getting to know my teammates better. Everything is becoming more natural. I am enjoying the process we are going through.”
Match against Lleida
“Surely it will be a tough game. They went to Valencia and won. All games in the ACB League are very tricky, even more so when playing away. I think we will need to deliver one of our best performances. We need to come out to compete, play with our identity, and from there, approach the game.”
What is the key to tomorrow's game?
“Our identity will be the key. We need to bring the game to our terms, find a lot of space, and play together. That is the key for us.”
