Facundo Campazzo could still play this Thursday against Partizan. The point guard was banned for one game and fined 5,000 euros for his angry protests in the final moments of the duel against Bayern.in which he claimed a personal foul on a triple shot that would have meant a tie. The white club has presented allegations and, if they are addressed by the Euroleague, the point guard would be available against the Serbian team.
Chus Mateo is preparing not to count on him. “We will see it tomorrow and we will see the minutes that each one plays. Both Andrés [Feliz] as Sergi [Llull] or Rathan-Mayes can serve as point guard And we will see how we organize ourselves in case the club’s allegations do not work and Facu cannot play. They have been done and we are waiting for it,” confirms the coach.
Facundo Campazzo makes a basket attempt in the game against Bayern.
What he did not want to assess was the decision of the Euroleague’s sole judge to sanction the Argentine: “I’m not going to go into whether it’s fair or not. It is what it is and that’s how they have determined it in the Euroleague. The only thing we can do is accept it and learn the lesson. Facu knows that he didn’t do the right thing.” and a fine would make him understand it. What hurts me is that we can’t enjoy it. “We accept what there is and, surely, we will play without it.”.
Mateo put himself in the shoes of the player who lives matches with high tension and stated that “we try to have good behavior on the field, but Sometimes the pulses take you to situations that you later think you should not have acted in that way.”. The coach hopes that the sanction to his player is not an exemplary fact but rather that it is the criterion during the season: “I understand that it will be like this all year with all the teams, not just with Madrid and Campazzo”.
Garuba is a doubt against Partizan
The Madrid coach also confirmed Usman Garuba’s doubt due to leg discomfort that has not just been overcome and He did not want to get involved in the Marcus Slaughter casewhom justice has claimed for the case of his alleged fake passport in 2015 and? could cost Real Madrid the Endesa League and Cup titles from that season: “I have enough on my mind to worry about that.”
