Last weekend, none of the 9 scheduled matches of day 15 of the LEB Gold League could be played due to Covide-19. Before, there were already six duels of the 13th and six more of the 14th pending. And of the 12th, after the Juaristi-Valladolid recovered with a visiting victory on Tuesday, there is still one Alicante-Granada pending. The competition, with very few dates to maneuver, will not return to normal this week. In principle, Bàsquet Girona will be able to compete on Sunday at the Estudiantes court, breaking with a one-month break, but it is already certain that there will be 4 matches that will not be played due to the different outbreaks of the virus: Palma- Lleida, Alicante-Palencia, Almansa-Granada and Castellón-A Coruña.
There are, in total, 26 matches that the second division of Spanish basketball has pending today. A madness. A barbarity. The FEB and the clubs are scared and a first step was the announcement on Tuesday that the Princess Cup would be delayed from February to April. This will allow you to extend the dates to tan the first lap and see that the second, as the good weather arrives and the sixth wave goes out, can serve to restore normalcy. The headache will now be to replace everything that is pending. Girona, for example, will play in Lleida on the 20th with a delay, but it still has no date for those who have to play against Oviedo and Melilla.
Meanwhile, the team is preparing for Fontajau’s visit to Estudiantes on Sunday (12pm). The coach, Jordi Sargatal, admitted yesterday that they are “ready” to compete “against the best team in the category”, and did not hide that among the players there is a “desire and enthusiasm” to be able to return to normal. Sargatal also spoke of the arrival of Máximo Fjellerup, who in principle should be able to play. “He has the physique, the ability to score and the good reading of the game. He will also help us in defense, “he said.
