Since the match in Jastrzebie Ryan Millar has become a fixture in the starting six Asseco Resovia. Earlier, the American Center undergoes rehabilitation after injuring his ankle sprain, which apparently is not quite healed but …
– I’m not a hundred per cent of its available physical, but I feel up to play – says RYAN MILLAR. – Probably need some time to get to the form, but I am able to train fully and play games. I feel some more pain in the ankle, but my mood is getting better.
PlusLiga: – Do not risk health while training and playing full-time already?
Ryan Millar: – No, it’s not a question of risk, only a little more time, so I came to form, he still played better and more confident.
– Your game in their last match against Fartowi Kielce remained much to be desired …
– It was a tough match for us in terms of concentration. In addition, we are now in hard training and it was clear after our fatigue. I also felt a bit tired of this game. But most importantly, we won and we did not lose points. Perhaps our problem was also that my thoughts were already at Wednesday’s match with Zaks.
– Expect more difficult than crossing against the crediting of the match against PGE Skra Station?
– It can actually be very heavy and tough fight. It’s nice that we’re playing before a home crowd, which will surely be a big asset for us. Zaks is a very good team, but we will also be taken as such. It is going to be so big emotions and interesting spectacle for the fans.
– Since the beginning of the season games is a huge crowd. So tight schedule is probably not the ally of any of the teams …
– Schedule is awful and does not actually like to look at it differently. In addition to two games a week, there are also long journeys by coach. But we can not do anything about it. We can only train as soon as possible and win as many games we can win. Are you sure you still need time to get to know your options.
After all, we train together only a few weeks, and besides, yet not all of us are capable of playing games. Still, we lack even Mateja Cernic. We need more games and training to reach out to and work well as a team.
– In such a constant rush of games and trips, so probably you did not have time for it to see closer to Rzeszow?
– No. Usually we only have one day break between the preparation for the next duel. There is so much free time and a chance to look around a bit more. But I am happy with the conditions prevailing at the club. We live with his family in a very nice home.The club has given us everything we need for life and training. I hope that the results achieved by our team will be equally satisfactory. So far, we are all very positive and we look forward to a good result at the end of the season.
