Last hour of Girona – Real Madrid, live
VERY GOOD TO EVERYONE!!! Today is not just any night because in a few minutes a new Endesa League season will begin. The first day opens at 9:00 p.m. (#Vamos and MARCA.com) with a whole Bàsquet Girona vs Real Madrid, the recently promoted team against the current league champion.
Let’s start by talking about the local team, the Basketball Girona. The team coached by Aíto García Reneses returns to the top Spanish competition after 14 seasons. This club is chaired by nothing more and nothing less than Marc Gasol, who is also part of the Catalan team’s squad. The center will step on an ACB field for the first time in 14 years. Total, nine players from the current team have never played in the ACB.
The return of Marc Gasol to the ACB
Girona has added seven new faces to the ‘roster’: Quino Colom, Paul Figueras, Cameron Taylor, Ondrej Hanzlik, Patricio Garino, Roko Prkain, Dusan Miletic. Compared to last year, they continue Josep Franch, Máximo Fjellerup, Eric Vila and Jaume Sorolla. For this match, Aito Garcia Reneses will not be able to count on Jaume Sorolla and Patricio Garino. The Endesa League is in luck, because it brings back a hobby that was important in the nineties and at the beginning of this century.
Opposite will be Real Madrid, which in addition to being the current champion of the Endesa Leaguecomes from winning the Endesa Super Cup against Barça last Sunday. It will be strange not to see Pablo Laso on the bench after eleven seasons, since his place will be taken by Chus Mateo.
The white team has made four signings this summer: Sergio Rodríguez, Mario Hezonja, Dzanan Musa and Petr Cornelie. Chus Mateo will not be able to count on the following players due to injury: Williams-Goss, Alocene, Rudy Fernandez, Abalde, Hanga and Randolph. With so many casualties, the Madrid coach had to pull the 16-year-old youth squad, Hugo Gonzalezto complete the call.
There is no time to lose. The first baskets will begin to be scored shortly, but here in MARCA.com We are going to tell you from this moment everything that happens in the preview of the match that opens the ACB. Stay tuned that… WE BEGIN!!!
