With a career spanning over 350 games in the ACB League, Augusto Lima's arrival at Flexicar Fuenlabrada represents a strategic move for the club. The 2.08-meter tall player made his first appearance with the team last weekend, playing 21 minutes due to DeBisschop's injury absence.
After returning to training this Tuesday, Lima shared his initial impressions with the club's official media. He highlighted the group's positive attitude and their desire to win, noting that the recent loss in Zamora has motivated his teammates to approach the week with a renewed mindset.
“"I still have to adapt to my new teammates, but the group is very good and above all what I see is that we want to win. The other day we lost in Zamora and everyone went home upset, which is a good thing, and everyone has come this week with a different mentality."
The Brazilian center is clear about his role within the team, emphasizing that his main contribution will be energy and leadership, qualities he has maintained throughout his career. His goal is to adapt quickly and get into full form during this "short preseason" to meet his teammates' needs.
Regarding his impressions of the league after many years away, Lima commented that basketball has evolved and that the Primera FEB is a demanding league where any oversight can lead to a loss. He stressed the importance of daily preparation and referred to the upcoming match against Alimerka Oviedo, highlighting the need to break the streak of games without winning away from home.
The player expressed his enthusiasm for playing at Fernando Martín with the support of the Fuenlabrada fans, which will be a new experience for him after having been an opponent on numerous occasions. He noted that he has received messages of support from many fans and pledged to work so that this backing translates into results on the court and the achievement of the team's goals.
