Andorra begs for a break: eight games in 19 days

"In November, the MoraBanc squad suffered a Covid outbreak that affected three members of the coaching staff and 11 players. After confinement, that entire squad had to play 12 games in 31 days. After that maelstrom of games came the injury of six players and four of them will no longer play this season. We have just suffered another outbreak of Covid that has affected four players and three of whom joined the team on Saturday on the eve of the game against

The other still remains at home. "

The antecedents to explain why this marathon of matches were exposed in the press room of the Andorra Sports Center by the team's coach,

, supported by his coaching staff and the squad, with the exception of

who is recovering at the home of the Covid-19. The ACB made official the schedules of the games that were postponed due to the coronavirus outbreaks and the result is that in 19 days they will have to play eight games.

... From end to end of Spain. An end of April and a mad first fortnight in May.

"The only thing we ask the ACB League is to consider the option of delaying the end of the competition for two days in order to accommodate our club's proposals in any way, such as the match against Urbas

on May 6. Thinking only of the health of our players and thus giving the option of sleeping and resting on Thursday after having played on May 4 against

Málaga, "Navarro maintained. That delay in the end would give a little oxygen to the Andorran team.

Morabanc Andorra has recently had the hard experience of December, where they saw themselves with a handful of matches after many days of inactivity.

"We are athletes and we are here to play and compete as we have done in this difficult season. We want to make it clear that we are proud to be part of the best league in Europe, but we are reluctant to think that for this competition the most important thing is our own competition that does not the health of its main protagonists, the players ", sentenced the coach.

Now, after Andorra's protest, the Endesa League has the floor, which must consider whether it admits the complaints of the Andorran team or maintains the dates that have led to this complaint.
