Resurrected at the end of the tournament under Fernando Ortiz. The Azzurrellas had a perfect winning streak, which took them straight into the league and into consideration for the crown.
The process has not been easy for Alvaro Fidalgo. The player spoke in an interview with the club about the change from finishing last to finishing fourth.
"We just had two incredible regular seasons and all of a sudden, game three, you lose at home, lose another game, win and then lose again, it's kind of hard. It's a tough time because a lot of people don't think that's the way things are, other than the fact that you don't do a good job athletically, and obviously we're screwed up as a locker room, as a team, and as coaches. At the end of the day, it's a difficult situation that nobody likes and it's a moment where we have to ask. EU through."
From a sports standpoint, we were obviously screwed up as a locker room and as a team.
Fidalgo emphasized that the arrival of Tano Ortiz has restored their confidence in dealing with the pressures of an institution like the Americas.
"We managed to turn things around, we became strong as a whole, Tano helped us, all the guys who were with us turned things around, and now we're in L'Aquila, which is the least America deserves in the tournament. Tano said, "I didn't invent anything, I didn't make them change in a lot of things, I had to give them the confidence and the tools that are good to achieve the necessary results." . When you're in that dynamic, the moment we saw that everything looked like a mess, we finally did it."
The player spoke about the controversial celebrations that took place after the victory over the and team, where he mentioned results and unity, not just a win.
We know the only thing the club can celebrate is the championship.
"In that moment we won three points and it was an air bomb as the game started and I know a lot of people don't like celebrations like that, like before the Tigers, we don't celebrate that we won against the Tigers or Necaxa, we celebrate that we won as a team and as a teammates and showed unity. We celebrate the fact that we moved on, we had a great win, moved forward with confidence and believe that each of us knew we could celebrate at the club championship game."
Finally, he noted that teams can't be confident going into the tournament because they can repeat what happened in other games.
L'Aquila is a different race, but I think as a team we are all united and have the passion to win the 14th.
"Emotions can be dangerous and it's different for us to go into this L'Aquila because it ultimately gives you the confidence to keep believing in what we're doing, to see again that people are mesmerized by the stadium, for them to see that people have an illusion of having the title, and we understand them, we went through complicated moments and we're ashamed of our failures. But we know that this is the least they ask us to do and then we go to Liqueira. Emotionally, we're fine, and that can be a dangerous thing. Because the league is a different game, but I think as a team we are all united and have the passion to win 14."
At the end of the day, Fidalgo isn't worried about their opponents touching them as they are focused on winning the tournament and making it to the finals.
"It doesn't matter what team it is, if you want to be a champion you have to beat anybody, we have to be strong in Aztec, I know it's going to be a tough game, keep doing what we're doing, it's a different kind of game than it's been in the last couple of months so it's a game that's a matter of life and death."
