Fernando Zurbriggen, Obradoiro’s player: “Real Madrid will come to Sar with very sharp teeth”

Argentine point guard Fernando Zurbriggen was elected Obradoiro’s best player in the month of January. “It is an individual award given to one player. I am happy because I managed to maintain a good level of play throughout January,” explains the Obra player. At the same time, he comments that «both on a professional and personal level I feel 100% adjusted, both in group chemistry and in individual dynamics I am very solid. I hope I can continue to maintain it in order to give the best to the team and the city».

Behind King’s Cup and FIBA windows teams will return to the Endesa league. Zurbriggen also thinks about this: «We are already focused on the second part of the league. The team will go up. We are all hopeful and excited.” The next opponent, with a guaranteed full hall in Sar, will be Real Madrid. Regarding this match, the Argentinian point guard points out that “we are expecting a meeting with the biggest institution in Europe and that is very important and exciting for everyone. We are very strong and why can’t we beat Real Madrid. We have already done that this season against Barcelona and Baskonia. We will find such a Real Madrid it will come with very sharp teeth after what happened in the King’s Cup. We were able to compete with the best, against teams from the Euroleague, and I’m sure we’ll do well against Real Madrid as well.”

The Argentine points out that “four awards this season for the best player went to four different players. It also speaks to the group’s level and performance. I hope next month will be different because it will speak to the good moment of the team.
