• Mirotic. "There are a lot of people screwed up, who has not overcome the one in Barça"
  • Call: The intrahistory of the signing of Mirotic

The preview of the second classic of the season was marked, how could it be otherwise, by the presence of Nikola Mirotic, Barça, this Thursday (9:00 p.m., DAZ) at the Wizink Center. Also how could it be otherwise, both Pablo Laso and Eddy Tavares tried to clear questions about the former Real Madrid, one of the many weapons that will be presented by the renewed group of Svetislav Pesic in his bid to try to end the white reign.

"I have other things to overcome in my life, the only players that concern me are mine," Laso said when asked about the recent statements of his former pupil, in which he accused "many people" of not having exceeded their signing for Barcelona. "You didn't ask me so much about Carlos Suárez, for example (from Unicaja, last Sunday's rival at ACB). He played for me too. Niko is a great player, I don't have to find out , but I'm worried about many Barcelona players, not only Mirotic, just as they do not worry about a single player of ours, "reasoned the white coach, who advanced that he will continue to count on the casualties due to injury of Felipe Reyes and Salah Mejri, but that he did not clarify if it was going to be for this duel when Trey Thompkins will be activated in the end.

"In my career as a player and coach I have been on different teams and I am only worried about the ones I have, I am not worried about the ones I have had. Many have passed through here and then I have faced them, and for the good and the bad only I focus on mine , which is my obligation as a coach, "he insisted.

Because, beyond the morbidity, Barça, current leader of the Euroleague matched with Armani Milan (6-1), is much more than Montenegrin. "You have to do a lot of things well and defend many players. Barcelona has a very deep team with many players with the ability to score. Higgins has 13 triples in two games , because we are going to try not to let him throw. It is not necessary to have the title Coach know that, but that is not the key to the game. You have to prepare many situations globally, "he reasoned.

Nor Tavares entered the rag about alleged controversies with Mirotic or about the hostile reception that the Palace can hold. "We know he is one of the stars of Barça. He is a very good team and we have to be prepared to play a very difficult game," he said. And he added, at the insistence: "We always try to do things as a team because they have many weapons and Mirotic is one of them . We have to be focused on everyone in the field."
