“With the staff we were putting together the list according to the players we could bring from abroad, not easy at this economic moment. Luckily, the Argentine Confederation made the effort and we will have two important players from Europe. The return of Carlitos (Delfino ) is given because he is in a very great moment in Italy and because of the experience he has “Garcia noted.
He also added: “In the case of Fernández because he played the World Cup very well, he continues to grow in Fuenlabrada and is the future of Argentine basketball. Mata comes closer, but it is a return that I consider very valuable. He is a great player that I know very well and I know. the amount of solutions it brings to a team “.
“We decided to put together a large preselection to have answers to different scenarios. Not only because of the Covid but also because of the few training that we will be able to do. We want to evaluate several to see which ones adapt faster and better to the idea. We also have the chance. to present different 12 players in each game and we want to take advantage of that option “, explained about the list that he put together with his coaching staff that includes Leonardo Gutiérrez, Gonzalo García and Herman Mándole.
