The first matchday of the second round of the regular phase of the National Handball Championship takes ABC Braga to Dragão Arena on Sunday, at 3:00 PM (FC Porto TV). With a "packed schedule" and the desire to "regain the positive momentum" before the home clash against "a very good team," Pol Valera anticipates "a very difficult game" and emphasizes the need to "be at one hundred percent," because "there is only one path, which is to win." Despite the various injuries affecting the group, the Spanish first-line player assures that "the squad is extensive and whoever plays must do a good job." Tickets are sold at the usual locations.

Packed Schedule“This game is going to be very difficult, we have a very packed schedule and it is very important to win, regain momentum, and keep alive the goal of winning all the games to be top-ranked in the European League and the championship.”

Adapted in Europe“It is important to know how to play in all positions. Playing as a center or a lateral is almost the same, you just need to know how to do it and contribute to help the team. At the end of the game against Elverum, we fell a bit short, and now it's time to recover and think about the game against ABC, which will also be important.”

Physical Issues“I am still not at one hundred percent, I have back pain, but with the help of the medical department, I will improve. But we are a team, the squad is extensive and whoever plays must do a good job.”

Only Objective“There is only one path, which is to win. It will be a very difficult game because ABC almost won against Benfica in Braga, but we only think about winning.”
