Being a fan of Sabalerowhich currently forms the first national -after descending in 2023 -, the winner clarifies that he had no preferences for any first team, but highlights some individual performance in particular.
“As safe scores, I had Galíndez and Navas in archers. In defenders I used the most was Loyola and complemented it with Angulo, Martinera, Braida. Flyers who added the most were Ascacibar, Taborda and Mastantuono. As Wonderful and Merentiel strikers, they were essential. To the latter, Molina”he mentioned about his trusted players that, after all, they gave him success.
