Forward Gabriele Procida recently discussed the challenges posed by a significantly revamped Zaragoza roster, which now includes recent NBA additions, and the importance of a strong start in front of their home fans.
Gabriele Procida spoke with Realmadrid TV ahead of Real Madrid’s Sunday matchup against Casademont Zaragoza at the Movistar Arena, a key contest in Week 18 of Liga (Sunday, 5:00 PM; DAZN). The game presents an opportunity for Real Madrid to rebound from a recent result in Paris and build momentum in the league standings.
“We need to start strong because we’re playing at home,” Procida said. “We want to see our fans again and play for them. We have to recover from the game in Paris, so it’s a good opportunity.”
Procida also highlighted the changes to the Zaragoza roster since their last meeting. “They have a completely new team compared to the first time we played them. They have good new players like Koumadje, who I played with in Berlin. There’s also my compatriot, Marco Spissu, and Richardson, who comes from the NBA. So, we need to be prepared.”
The addition of NBA talent in Richardson adds another layer of challenge for Real Madrid as they aim to secure a victory in front of their home crowd. This contest is crucial as teams jockey for position in the Liga table.
