Lasarte added: “Obviously the effort to do that, but here there is something limiting. Hopefully his body will allow Ben to compete.”

In addition, the coach explained, “The hardest thing was the absence because we depended on a generation and some young players. The other thing was the change of schedule. Those three away games were complicated and no one said anything. It seemed like we had to put up with everything. I think it was detrimental. Extremely. “
