Edy Tavares has missed much of the preseason because he has been with his team, Cape Verde, in the Afrobasket, and against Lenovo Tenerife he debuted with his new teammates. The match ended eliminated, four personal and one technique, and another five fouls for Poirier, in a Madrid that ran out of pivots in the last quarter of the semifinal.
“After coming back with my team, I have seen everyone very well in the team,” explains Tavares. Without making excuses, maybe it was normal that yesterday the game did not go so well, I did not remember that I could not say many things to the referees or to anyone and I should concentrate on what I have to do. The team is doing well and winning. Yabusele has caught my attention because of the strength and power it has. I had played against him, but training alongside him in the last week and see him up close … It will help us a lot ”.
Ten fouls indicated to the two centers? “It depends on the game, sometimes we get whistled a lot and sometimes less. You have to keep a cool head, because sometimes they are fair and other times unfair.
Tavares says he sees Barça very well, “as always”. “Every year it is very competitive, a team that signs to win titles. The final will be very difficult, but we also have a good team to compete with. An opportunity to bring another title home. “
