The seven defeats suffered by Barça in the last 10 gamesthe last two consecutive by 20 points difference against Unicaja and especially against AS Monaco (91-71), have created concern within the section, but they consider that the Barça coach, Roger Grimau, still has credit to move forward with the team.
In an emergency meeting held this Saturday after returning from Monacothe manager responsible for the section, Josep Cubells, together with the general manager, Juan Carlos Navarro, and the director, Mario Fernández, analyzed the situation that the team is experiencing, but at no time was Grimau’s continuity at the helm of the team questioned. equipment.
Quite the contrary. They are convinced that the poor results achieved are due to a problem with the team’s mentality.oy with some juplayers who are not showing their true potential or what is expected of them.
Support to the technician
A meeting in which Roger Grimau did not take part, and upon returning from the disastrous meeting in Monaco, he immediately received support of those responsible for the section despite the many voices that have been raised asking for a change in the direction of the team.
From the offices They consider that it is a specific crisis, because the team has already shown that it knows how to win against big teams in the Euroleague as it did in the first part of the season and what is happening now is that the group has lost confidence and that translates into poor defense, low success percentages and lack of consistency.

A stressful situation at this time of transition, although Grimau himself also told them that he plans to ‘shake’ the teamor so that those who really contribute on the court end up playing, a pure question of meritocracy leaving names aside.
Toque a Willy
A small example was what happened in Monaco with Willy Hernangómez, who had less prominence than James Nnaji in a clear example of the coach for pointing out some of the players who are not measuring up. But there is more than one and some important.
If the sports management fully trusts Grimau, to whom perhaps his sparing character in words has not helped him to offer an image of confidence despite the poor resultsalso believe that the current staff is fully qualified to get through this bad moment.
Thus, They are not considering making any short-term signings to try to reverse the situation.. They believe that the level of the squad is high enough to achieve this with the current players, although some of them may gain minutes to the detriment of others.
Reflection and return to the Palau
After the whirlwind of meetings in December, in the worst month in terms of results in recent yearsfour days arrive without competition for the group to carry out a deep reflection of the heavy defeats suffered and straighten the path in energyo.
And the Blaugrana have five consecutive games ahead of them at the Palau that must serve as a launching pad for the team to return to the path of victory and try to turn the page on the disastrous December.

And the first challenge is daunting since the Blaugrana welcome the fittest team in Europe, Real Madrid, to the Palau. who is planted in the Blaugrana fiefdom with the desire to delve into Barça’s wound. Although a victory for Grimau’s team could be the turning point that the team needs to take flight.
For now, Grimau has credit just like the players but the sports management is clear that the reaction must come now and against Madrid, much better
