Tomorrow comes the most anticipated match for the Girona basketball. The day of the debut of Marc Gasol with the club shirt he presides over. Fontajau will dress up – there are already more than a thousand advance tickets sold – to experience the return of the star of theNBA, although what is really important will be the result of the duel between the people of Girona and theHuesca (7 p.m.) After temporarily taking over the team, which is at the bottom of the standings, the coach Jordi Sargatal will be officially released on the bench. “When you grow up, you doubt whether you will have butterflies and thank God I’m sorry. It excites me. I’m sure it will be an emotional match, we will have to do everything on the court to win. In addition, people will bring us many positive things to make an extra effort. Encouraging us will be a great strength for us “, explained Gasol.

For his part, Sargatal said that the role of the pivot in the team will be “leadership”. “I’m a coach close enough to connect with the players. I would like us to have character in defense, intensity and a high pace in the game “, he commented on his way of being. The coach also added that at the time of accepting the position “I didn’t have to think about it much because during these two weeks it was very easy and natural to lead the team. I take on the confident challenge that I can do a good job because there is work behind it and the players will help me.
