Marc Gasol explained this afternoon in a virtual press conference with journalists from all over the country that Bàsquet Girona is “working on different options” for its debut at LEB Or. The president has not advanced many details of next season, but has assured that the template will “cheer people up”. “We are immersed in the preparation of the team. Jordi (Plà), Carles (Marco), Oriol and I are always in contact and we work on different options. We want the team to have its own identity with a DNA that identify with the fans, ”he said.
Gasol also commented that “Formento’s departure was not easy”. “He had been in all the important positions of the club and he has perfectly represented the feeling because he has seen him born and he has lived absolutely everything. As president I had to make a difficult decision, but he understood it because to build something that you don’t think can end up being detrimental to the club, ”he added. With the signing of coach Carles Marco, the president is “excited” and “convinced” to continue to take steps forward.
Regarding the squad, Bàsquet Girona already has the insurance of captains Albert Sàbat and Gerard Sevillano: “Albert had one more year of contract and Sevillano was important to continue betting on him after the process he has done. He has a margin of very big improvement and we want him to make his way with us “. Gasol has repeated that his “excitement is to retire in Girona whether in the ACB, LEB Or or LEB Plata or wherever. Selfishly, my goal is to end there. I want to make a push in the whole basketball community from Girona from the track and dress in shorts again in Fontajau “. He also opened the door to his brother Pau, the club’s vice-president: “There are more important things than if he plays for Barça, the Lakers or Bàsquet Girona. He is recovering from his injury and I look forward to play again “.
