The one of Ismaila Diagne It was one of the names of the party. The center, a starter in the ranks of Real Madrid, became the youngest player to participate in a Clásico. She did it with 16 years, nine months and nine dayssurpassing a record that was held by Luka Doncicwho in 2015 played a match against Barcelona being 19 days older than the current Real Madrid center.
Chus Mateo praised the great work of his player, who had nine points, eight rebounds and a rating of 16.. His performance, starting from the start, was sensational with four points and seven rebounds, five of them offensive, in the first five minutes. “I didn’t know I was 16. I’m serious. Now that you tell me I’m happier.”said the Madrid coach in the press conference after the Classic.

“It’s an anecdote, but I am happy above all because the boy works well and this is a reward for the work that young people are doing. We want to give meaning and continuity to a quarry that we have. Giving meaning to the quarry is only done that way, I have always thought about it that way. The quarry has no meaning if people don’t come out. We are very happy that it turned out well. “If Chus Mateo had gone wrong, he would be crazy for having taken out a 16-year-old boy.”stated the technician.
Decided commitment to the quarry
Mateo once again demonstrated his determined commitment to the youth team. Last year, Eli John Ndiaye had a great defensive role in the Euroleague series against Partizan. A week ago, Hugo Gonzlez shines in front of Casademont Zaragoza. Now Diagne shows his capabilities. “The good ones stomp their feet. It is easy to put good players. If they play well, they play, and if they don’t do so well, they won’t play.. That’s what will make us stretch the rotation, them giving the level. The day they don’t give it, they won’t play,” the coach acknowledged.
About him triumph in the second Classic of the seasonMateo considered that they had played “with a lot of heart, with a lot of soul, with a lot of desire to win, with a lot of drive. We still lack a little more discipline at times but sometimes these types of games are won like that, with our heart. “It hasn’t been brilliant.”.
Tavares Earrings
This Monday, Walter Tavares, absent for the second game due to a respiratory infectionundergo new tests: “He was in the hospital for a few days and is starting to feel fine.”. We have to be careful. We don’t want you to take risks. We are in the first part of the regular League and we have not started the Euroleague. Neither is Gabriel Deck or Carlos Alocn. “We will try to make the casualties as little noticeable as possible.”.
