Guerschon Yabusele makes his place alongside Rudy Gobert

After a complicated spell in the NBA, where he never managed to find his place with the Celtics, Guerschon Yabusele resumed the thread of his career in Europe, first at Asvel then at Real Madrid, of which he is very quickly become a major element, allowing him to extend with the Madrid club until 2026.

Enough to allow him to establish himself as the position 4 holder of the Blues for the campaign for Euro 2022.

Against Italy, the “Dancing Bear” displayed its power under the circle in the fight with Danilo Gallinari or Nicolo Melli, finishing with 11 points and 4 rebounds, including 3 offensive, as well as 2 assists.

“We made a lot of mistakes, it’s clear that we are in the preparation phase. We should have had a better lead, but we still won the match.”he explained just after the meeting.

A communicative “joie de vivre”

In any case, the 26-year-old strong winger benefits from his status, bringing his communicative energy to the group.

“We get paid to do what we love the most. It’s crazy ! I’m happy with every game, every training I do. Being able to do a EuroBasket with the French team is only positive. I’m very happy. Our group is very special. Having fun and laughing every day are very important positive things in a team. My joie de vivre, I try to share it. »

His association with Rudy Gobert under the circle, still under construction, will be one of the keys to the success of the Blues at the next EuroBasket (September 1-18) as their mix of power and verticality imposes.

“In 4 we have a bit of a second leading position. I’m trying to find my connection with Rudy. When the ball goes through us it’s difficult for our opponents to defend. I am comfortable in this situation. Talk in defense, help my teammates, have a role of energizer. I’m not trying to overdo it but to be fair. »

See you tomorrow evening, at 8:30 p.m., to see the progress of the duo (beIN Sports 1). Always against Italy.
