Chus Mateo and Juan Carlos Sánchez’s Real Madrid hit rock bottom: will they apologize to Laso?

The project of Juan Carlos Sanchezresponsible for the basketball section of Real Madrid, hit rock bottom. The fight that ended the defeat in the second game against Partizan Belgradecon Florentino Perez present at the WiZink Center, is the failure of a team that has lost its hallmarks. From being a champion to giving an image of a bad loser with a tangana that produces embarrassment among the leaders and the fans. Pablo Laso built a competitive teamrecognizable for his winning spirit and having a soul, and ten months after his dismissal, the Real Madrid of Juan Carlos Sánchez and Chus Mateo is a group of deranged and tricky players.

The unfortunate image of the fight has consequences. The Euroleague sanctions Yabusele with a five-game suspension, Kevin Punter with two and Gabriel Deck and Mathias Lessort with one. The fine of 50,000 euros to both Real Madrid and Partizán for unsportsmanlike conduct. Neither of the two clubs will be able to appeal.

It’s the countdown of Chus Mateo on the bench. He is not the only one to blame for the great fiasco. The person in charge is Juan Carlos Sánchez. He is pointed out for having destroyed the project led by Pablo Laso and that it was not finished. Due to discrepancies with the technician and envy, JCS grabbed a heart problem from the technician from Vitoria to strike him down and put his pupil to direct a sinking ship.

The change of Chus Mateo by Pablo Laso has been disastrous, no matter how you look at it. The team has worsened and the excuses for being absent in the second game against Partizán are useless, without Tavares. You have to look at the bad game in defense and attack. Without solidity or a plan to dominate and impose authority. Chus Mateo’s Real Madrid is a coin in the air when faced with an intense and competitive rival. Management from the bench at critical moments and the solutions to turn it around are catastrophic. During the season they have missed the lasin. Those talks in the dead times, direct, tactical and motivational language, which reactivated the team.

Chaos from the bench

Real Madrid basketball is great for Chus Mateo and the one Florentino is going to ask for explanations is not the coach. It’s Juan Carlos Sanchez. The president cannot consent to the slum image that the team gave in the pitched battle. Chus Mateo’s weaknesses have been seen in the Euroleague quarterfinals with a nervous, anxious and frustrated team. The chaos in decision-making from the bench and from experienced players led to impotence with an unsportsmanlike foul by Llull that ended in violence and an attack by Yabusele on Dante Exum. The punishment for Yabusele will be exemplary and some are already wondering if they should put on the Real Madrid shirt again.

Chus Mateo has been an experiment by Juan Carlos Sánchez that has not worked. It has gone from a solid and fun Real Madrid on the pitch to a fragile team in which each player wages war on his behalf. Pablo Laso’s Real Madrid had a soul and Chus Mateo’s is deranged. The two defeats against Partizan in Zeljko Obradovic They show the level of Chus Mateo in the direction from the bench and his lack of leadership. On Tuesday the third game is played in Belgrade and a miracle has to happen for this Real Madrid, which is managed by the players, to get into the tie.

Juan Carlos Sánchez played it and it went wrong. The disappointment is not only in the change of Chus Mateo for Pablo Laso. The indignation of hearing Mateo’s justifications in the press room to say that the fight is the product of pulsations is greater. “You have to put yourself in the shoes of the players and know what pulsations they are at”, he stated. Rudy Fernández was more sensible. He first congratulated Partizan for being superior in both games, apologized to all basketball fans, and acknowledged that they play anxiously.

Ulises Sanchez-Flor

The unfairness of the dismissal of Pablo Lasso It has not ceased to be present among the fans who came to see a team plugged in, united and in which everyone was going in the same direction. Some players who did not understand the change either and keep the memory of the detail that Llull had for Laso to lift the league champions trophy when Juan Carlos Sánchez had already made the decision to kill him. It is the head of the basketball section who has to apologize to Pablo Laso.
