BAXI Manresa opens 2025 in Lugo
The Manresa squad travels on New Year's Day to try to surprise a team that has been renewed in recent days.
In 2025, BAXI Manresa begins its season in Lugo against a team that has reacted with the arrival of Luis Casimiro on the bench. The Bages team wants to recover from the narrow defeat against Baskonia in the Nou Congost.
The match comes in the middle of the Christmas holidays and with little time to rest for the teams. They travel to Lugo with the team almost complete and eager to remain competitive. Against Baskonia, the team showed fight and even dominated the scoreboard for many minutes, and now it is time to continue trying against Breogán, in Lugo.
Breogán has reacted in the last 4 days with the change of coach. Now the team is led by Luis Casimiro, who has turned the dynamic around. With him, the Galicians won 2 games and the 2 they lost were against Real Madrid and Unicaja. They have incorporated a scorer like Dae Dae Grant who has had an immediate performance and impact on the team. Apart from him, well-known players like the center Jordan Sakho, the talent of Darrun Hilliard or Nakic make the sky-blue team very dangerous.
In the press conference before the match, Diego Ocampo explained that «it is a totally new team, with 4 changes that will surely improve the quality, and with a new source of energy; they have all been changes at the same time, therefore we must analyse the Breogán of the last 4 games of which they have won 2, it is like a new team; at home they play with a lot of energy and with an extra plus and they arrive at a moment of great positivity and a lot of energy».
