Lakontxa: This year there is a very high-level
The alavés won on Saturday the “Village of Plentzia” Tournament
09/14/2011: Gorka Lakontxa has arrived and won, because he entered in the competition last Friday as a member of the team of Araba and the next day already won a cup, in particular the corresponding to the “Village of Plentzia” Tournament, obtained with Foronda and Suso, the backcourt who played in the first four days of the League. So this, it is logical that the murgiarra was happy when he attended www.bilbaojaialai.es.tl
You started playing and got the triumph.
We played well, I had been a little more nervous on Friday, but next day I really felt comfortable.
In these last two days, you got better.
The first day we started not very well, but in the last function the things went well.
This victory is also a Suso´s victory.
He has had much to do with the victory, because the truth is that in his days he worked very well. We have followed the story and it seems that everything has gone well.
How do you feel with Foronda?
I know him very well, in fact, we have been playing together and being rivals since we were child.
What do you think about the sports level of this edition?
This year there is a very high-level. You have to fight hard to win and it is very difficult to get the victory.
So you don´t feel champion.
No, because those who come from behind are not going to give up and they will do their best to beat us, sure.
How did you see the previous festivals in which you could not participate? Did you felt nervous?
Yes, you feel nerviosete and you think “Let's see when I will be there and let´s see if everything works”, and at the end, everything works. You have to go into the court with the other pelotaris, see which are the weaknesses of each one, and attack them.
Did you already know this Plentzia Jai Alai?
Yes, I had been there playing the last two years, it is different from other pediments, the first days it cost a bit, but after playing a bit, it is ok.
