• Chronicle.Campazzo commands the forceful reconquest of Real Madrid

"Jaycee stay, Jaycee stay!" . Minutes after Felipe Reyes raised the Cup to the sky of the Carpena - "now is when you realize what it is worth the sacrifice you have made your entire career" -, while the protagonists celebrated with their families and the little ones played with the golden confetti on the parquet, the unanimous scream broke the silence, now without a brass band. Real Madrid fans who resisted at the top of the stands had a primary mission, to recognize the work of one of their referents, of the type that was already a hero eight years ago in that initiatory Cup of Sant Jordi (22 points then). Carroll had once again challenged time. Way of 37, nobody could stop him.

He left with 20 this time, in just 22 minutes (four triples), and he only needed to blow his smoking revolver. As one who fulfills what he has been doing for years and years, pure routine. And with the bittersweet feeling in the atmosphere that could be one of his last great nights with Real Madrid. He neither officially pronounced on his future nor plans to do so. But when on Sunday, in full euphoria, he was questioned if he will continue for another year wearing white (ends contract) , accompanied by his wife on the track, Baylee's answer opened up a little more unknowns: "You have to see it," he said She, after declaring her love for Madrid and facing her husband's face.

Rumors have been around for a while. Although the pure logic of his DNI dictates that Carroll's career, the first signing of Laso back in 2011 from Gran Canaria, is pointing to its outcome. This Christmas, the club itself granted him an unusual vacation . In the middle of the season, Jaycee and his family - he has four children - left for his native Utah, where a house has been built. He lost a handful of games and when he returned, he only hit two of the next 18 triples.

And yet, at the moment of truth ... Carroll has been a starter in every game of the Copa del Rey, from less to more, 39 points in total, without fear of shooting as he never had (6 of 18 since the perimeter). «We have total confidence in him, we want Jaycee to throw the last ball , because he is going to put it. We are all convinced. It is what he transmits to us with his work, with his day to day. And we know that he is human, one day he can be fined for not paying for parking, ”Pablo Laso said at a press conference. «We have been changing things during this time, but he has always known to be important to us. We value it, ”he said.

Shortly before, Florentino Pérez joked with Carroll when he received his triumphant players in the locker room: «Jaycee, come here and give me a hug!» . "We've won a lot, but it's still very difficult," Laramie's valued. It was the sixth Cup for an already historical type of the entity, which has won the 19 titles of the Laso era. Finding a replacement for the sniper will be a mission as cruel as it is delicate.
