Hombrados: “Kiel are the favourites”

Jose Javier Hombrados is a real champion and a captain of Ciudad Real. He won the CL title with three different teams in the past: with Teka Cantabria, Portland San Antonio and Ciudad Real. His records in Spain and in Europe are almost impossible to summarise. Now a new final is coming up for him, and this is coming up right after winning the Asobal League.

“Jota” Hombrados knows that Kiel are the strongest opponents possible at the moment:

“Kiel are the favourites because they are the title holders of the competition. In addition, they will play the second game in Germany. I hope that we will win in Ciudad Real. I don’t know how many goals of advantage we would need to get the title at the end. This is the »million-dollar question«”.

There was a great party for Hombrados and the team after winning the Asobal title on Wednesday, but the players could not enjoy it completely:

“We celebrated this victory but we did not exaggerate. We knew that we had to save our energies for the next game. We hope that we will have a reason to celebrate another title soon. Winning the Champions League would be a perfect end for the season”.
