It will not be until the end of the month that Bàsquet Girona, under the command for the second consecutive season of Carles Marco, will be there again. October 8, the start date of the competition at the Juaristi track, is still a bit far but this does not prevent Fontajau from doing work for weeks while trying to build a competitive enough staff not only to seal permanence as soon as possible, but to start looking up without giving up anything. With a couple of renovations such as those of Olaf Schaftenaar and the incombustible Albert Sàbat, the club made public yesterday the eighth new face thinking about the immediate course. This is the Portuguese Gonçalo Pereira Delgado. Muscle under the ring with a player who is just over two meters tall (2.04) and only 23 years old, still inexperienced in the category but who knows state basketball. This last season he wore the Zentro Basket Madrid shirt to the LEB Plata. To all this, he joins that he is absolutely international with the selection of his country.
“Very happy” to start this new stage, Delgado is convinced that “this project will allow me to grow as a player” with the aim of “being able to make a name for myself in this category.” The intention, at a collective level, is to work “with great enthusiasm to achieve our goals.” Forged at the base of SL Benfica, he competed from 2017 to 2020 in the first Portuguese category with this same team, also participating in the Basketball Champions League. Step before making the jump to Spain and landing in Madrid, where he scored 9.2 points per game, capturing 12.3 rebounds and a rating of 12.3.
In addition to Gonçalo Delgado, Bàsquet Girona has also announced the additions of Mads Bonde Stürup, Èric Vila, Jaume Sorolla, Josep Franch, Karamo Jarawa, Pol Molins and Kaspars Vecvagars.
