“The preparation of the team is very good, everyone has been working seriously since day one. You can see the evolution in every game we play. We will come to the tournament with all the information we need to compete in the best way”, Prigioni told Prensa CAB. Lee Aaliya and Gonzalo Corbalán are not part of the squad for this contest, despite their good work in friendlies This way, Gonzalo Bressan will make his debut in the majors, having convinced the coaching staff with his performances in friendlies across Europe.
