Agustín Lozano is already beating what will be El Ceibo’s debut next Saturday in the new Federal Basketball League. The base affirmed that the idea is “to be protagonists”.
From 9:00 pm next Saturday, the “Antonio Cena” will vibrate again with a new presentation of the “national flower”. But this time it will be in a new category and the player discussed them with DSP.
Regarding the new squad, the point guard said that “Being a new team and having a short preseason, obviously the tournament is going to start and we are still going to get to know each other with several teammates. Although a good base was maintained from last season, there are new members and the first objective we set for ourselves was to establish ourselves as a team and get to know each other”.
He added that “We only played two friendlies and the tournament is already starting. We want to achieve a good collective operation and capture the idea that ‘mara’ (Blengini) proposes us together with Lautaro (Oitana), then we will see what we are for. This is a humble and hard-working team. We are a long squad that will press, run and be intense; That will not change”.
He also stated that “We want to establish ourselves in the category and be competitive. We enter a tournament where we want to compete with all the teams and be up to the task”.
Despite the short preseason, Lozano argued that “I see the team well, since we are all hard workers and we are very committed. We have a lot of youngsters because the format of the squad makes it so. We are going to be an intense team and propose a dynamic game. We are always attentive to what the coaching staff asks of us and as the dates go by we will be better”.
Agustín knows the category very well since he is one of those who has already played it. “I was lucky to have played the Federal Tournament. It is a very competitive tournament and this year with 104 teams gives you an idea of how difficult and long it is. I told my teammates that if we train hard, we make an effort, we are a supportive team and we embody the idea of the game, I think we can play as equals to anyone”.
In addition, he stated that “There is no written formula for how to play this League, but with work and sacrifice we can achieve a great collective performance that will lead us to win more games than we are going to lose”.
Lozano knows his next opponent very well, as he played for Sportivo Suardi two years ago. “I had to play there before the pandemic and I know it is a great club and they have treated me very well. Now I have to have them on the sidewalk in front since I defend the colors of El Ceibo. They try to play a little bit of the same thing as us, run and take a lot of 3-point shots. There are several former teammates who continue and we know each other very well. It’s going to be a very tactical match.”
Regarding the group objectives, he argued that “we want to achieve a great human and work group and transform this into a good team with collective functioning. The objective is to be competitive in a tournament with so many participants and seek to be protagonists”.
