After the delay on the plane, the first contact with the Indonesia Arena, and the second training session in Jakarta, it can already be said that Spain is in ‘World Championship mode’. They have sessions to acclimatize and outline the latest details, with Sergio Scariolo beginning to give clues to the team that will seek to defend the champion star won in China four years ago.
As the team always repeats, nothing is so good and nothing is so bad (that of ‘never too high, never too low’).
“There is pressure, but when you are the best team in the history of this country you have a clear conscience. If you win a medal, fantastic. If you lose, you are calm because you did your job in preparation perfectly,” Scariolo repeats.
In sports, the casualties weighed down the preparation, although everything seems to be carbureting from the Indonesia Arena.
“If we played now, everyone would be there,” the Italian specified. Alberto Diaz trains and seeks to reach 100%, the others have no problem. From veterans to Juan Nunez. “There is full confidence, the relief speeds up and it is the first step for the future,” praised Scariolo.

Spain is ready, with its usual DNA.
“There is no physical or athletic scoring quality. It’s a team. Here you don’t play one-on-one, it’s five against five to win as a team,” said the coach.
The Ivory Coast is his first test, although the team is still not thinking about his rival. First adaptation and internal systems.
