Atenas is looking for a second victory against Racing de Chivilcoy that leaves it one step away from promotion. The match will be played this Tuesday at 9pm with a packed Carlos Cerutti sports center as there are no tickets left for sale.
“El Griego” started the final as he should, winning the first game at home (80-72) and now he will try to win another victory that brings him closer to the great goal at the beginning of the season, returning to the National League.

This second game of the final is key and Athens knows it. In addition to the challenge of winning, he will have to fight against the ghosts of the two previous series, both with Salta Basket and Suardi, he lost and had to reverse the series in the fifth games.
The word of Nicolás Zurschmitten
“Surely we will find something different from the rival. From the physical aspect, mainly from the intensity. Then we will have to resolve tactical issues that arise, but we have to emphasize what is ours, which is defense,” he analyzed in dialogue with Chain 3.
At the same time, he stressed that on offense they will have to pass the ball, but above all “the defense, which is what brought us here and what we have to continue without negotiating.”
The pampering of the people: another night with sold out tickets
“The people really are incredible. Quite a few games ago all the play-offs were played on the Athens field and we are all very grateful,” he said.
And he added: “It was possible for people to identify with the team and we achieved that on the field, giving everything every game. So it is a pampering that the people do to us and we return it in the way we can by performing and leaving everything.”

“We will try to leave everything behind to take one more step and be closer to the goal,” he concluded.
