A few hours before facing Baxi Manresa in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, Barça held an activation session with Martín Carpena himself, after which Willy Hernangómez offered his impressions of the match.

“It is not going to be resolved until the end, it is going to be very complicated. We are facing a very tough opponent who has an elite coach, with a lot of experience,” the Barça center praised Pedro Martínez.

For the eldest Hernangómez, the keys to the match against Manresa, which already made things difficult for Barça last Sunday in the Endesa League match, involve “controlling the rebound and defensive transitions.”

With five wins in their last six games, Barça lands with good dynamics in the Copa del Rey. “The team is growing and improving, we are competing very well and I am proud of our work and the coaching staff. Now it’s really cool and we have to be at our best,” Hernangómez highlighted.

For his part, in the ranks of Baxi Manresa, Brancou Badio has also appeared before the numerous media that traveled to Malaga. “Every match in the Cup is a final, it’s one match. So you have to go out and fight and compete to have any chance,” summed up one of Manresa’s best players.
