He CB Puerto Sagunto closed the best regular season in its history in EBA with a resounding victory over the Valencia Bàsquet subsidiary (87-58), in a José Veral who enjoyed a great show in a dream year for Christian Crudeli’s team. The match exemplified the communion with the stands and certified the qualification to the crossing prior to the promotion phase to LEB Plata, an achievement that “It is an award for the players, the youth team and the coach”. Among the main merits of this “historic milestone” are “the continuity of players who believe in the project and the union with the coach,” according to the club’s spokesman, Álvaro de la Cal.
The Buenos Aires team began the campaign with the uncertainties typical of a team that was relegated from the fight for promotion by a three-way tie. “We were at the gates of everything”, they admit from CB Puerto, although, a year later, the The tables have turned 180 degrees and now the pass to the promotion phase to LEB Plata will be played against Molina de Segura de Murcia on April 30, a category that includes a high degree of professionalization, star signings and many foreign players. This tie will be played in Gandia and the fans will be able to travel on buses chartered by the Buenos Aires entity.
Like any good season, the foundations go back to the preparation of the squad, in which “we bet on youth with the incorporation of junior players who had competed in the autonomous community, a milestone that we had not seen for a long time. We also recovered Andreu Monrabal -adds de la Cal-, who returned home and we incorporated Pablo Bono, a versatile and fast interior, which implied a tactical change by not having a man of more than 2 meters. We kept the rest of the block, we strengthened the coaching staff with a house coach like David Martínez” and the rest is already history of CB Puerto.
a chimera
At this point, the porteños do not give up anything, but they continue with their feet on the ground to enjoy the moment and bring more happiness to a stand of José Veral that vibrates more than ever. De la Cal admits that, in the event of victory against the Murcians, “we would go on to what is undoubtedly a chimera, since due to structure and means we cannot opt for a higher sporting level than we are at.” After this crossing, 16 will be the teams that continue in competition, divided into four groups that will play between on May 11 and 14 to determine the four direct promotions and the four teams who will face each other for the other two places in LEB Plata.
De la Cal points out that “we are an amateur club with a work philosophy in which we train the children who want to come here, we do not sign players from youth academies from other places, we try to train house coaches so that they understand the philosophy of our club and at the same time they can transmit it to the players: commitment, work, competition, work, pride, work, joy, work, like the people we represent, mark our daily work”.
Joy and resignation
Thus, if the promotion were consummated “we would have a month and a half to rejoice and to resign, since It would be impossible without the financial support of our companies, which, except for honorable exceptions, are elusive. In this municipality, these sponsorships are available to a few and we are not from the group of chosen ones. I do not say it from envy or jealousy, but from recognition to some sports who have known how to move in high places better than our sport and that they have had and have greater institutional and business support than ours”.
