Xavi Pascual: “Willy has been key in this victory”

From not playing a single minute in the previous match to being decisive in the resolution of the semifinal. Willy Hernangómez was, without a doubt, the surprise element of the third match of the series and Xavi Pascual recognized it in the subsequent press conference. “I am very happy with Willy, he has been very good. It is always difficult when you play little. In the last games we have gone in another direction but today we felt that it was his game, that it was his moment and that is how it has been. He has been a key player for this victory,” said the Barça coach.

Gavà’s coach also wanted to highlight Tomas Satoransky, who “is making an incredible effort. He has a lot of physical problems with his back, he is in a lot of pain. But he has a lot of heart and helps us a lot, he has total pride, he always wants to win.”

According to Pascual, “it was a typical playoff game away from home, in which we had a pretty bad second quarter and that penalized us a lot in the first half. In the third quarter we were better in both attack and defense, we controlled better.”
