  • Carroll. Goodbye scent display

Pablo Laso was especially elated on Sunday night in the bowels of Carpena. It was not be for lowerly. As Facundo Campazzo pronounced well, they had the Copa del Rey "between eyebrow and eyebrow" after losing the last two, and in that way, against Barça. So the press conference served the technician for relief. He had just won his 19th title since he landed in the turbulent Real Madrid bench back in 2011.

The Vitoriano, who in the morning had seen how his son Aksel lost the final of the mini-cup, spoke of the state in which the team had arrived in Malaga, after the beginning of the year of not too much stability either in the game or in the results . "The 'were crazy years' we took it with laughter," he said about that phrase that coaches handle about the 'before yesterday' game, about, for example, the defeat of a few days ago in WiZink against Joventut: "We are in a competition with a very demanding schedule and it is difficult to maintain the competitive level at 100%. You cannot trust only the result."

Laso spoke of the sacrifices of his players, of a medical body that had not worked so much in his life, of the sore Rudy Fernandez, of Anthony Randolph and his twin, of Jeff Taylor, who will have to be tested ... But, in At one point, when asked about the six Cup titles he had just won, one more than Aíto García Reneses, the coach broke out in a hilarious speech. "Aito is a reference at all levels. I was on his campus when I was a kid and he had two hours giving me long passes," he began. "That speaks very well of Aito (the five Cups). With which he speaks very well of me, pussy, if I have won more than him. Fuck, I will have to say it!", He pronounced before breaking out loud.

Already more thoughtful, Laso also valued the extraordinary period in which Real Madrid lives. In the 26th final in nine seasons, he reached the 19th title (six Cups, five Leagues, five Super Cups, two Euroleagues and one Intercontinental). Unthinkable does nothing. "Those 19 titles speak very well of our competitiveness over time. The greatest pride is that this team always competes . I cannot ask them to win, but I have to demand them to always compete. That is non-negotiable. And in that I can only have words of praise for my team, "he concluded.
