“This will be the main move in the history of the World Championships” | Relief
This is an explosive duet. They established themselves as the best Spanish players in history, finishing No. 1 in the world for three years in a row. Ale Galan and Juan Lebron were, are and will be a guarantee of success when playing together on the padel tennis court.. In Argentina they know this and are afraid of it. Two of the most influential padel journalists in the South American country speak to Relevo to analyze the Spanish team.
As the Spanish coach told us in an interview with Relevo, this situation is very difficult because LeBron has been playing on the left wing all season, in the same position as Galan. But be careful, as he asserted this reality, he never closed the door to what could happen: “Nothing can be ruled out at the World Padel Championships with players of such a high level who have known each other for so long.“. With MARCA moving forward, Gutierrez will consider the possibility of them playing together in the semi-finals and finals.
Isaias Blaiotta, current Prime Minister Padel commentator and former Diario Olé padel tennis reporter, says that if the coach decides to bet on fielding this pair, we could be talking about the biggest bomb in World Championship history: “This will be a master class for the Spanish coach. A tactical coup that no one expects. At the moment we have seen Juan playing the other way around, but if he goes with Galan it will be amazing.” Wolf are now occupying this distinction within the route, he believes that this is not his best solution: “I believe LeBron is a top 5 left wing player and a top 1 forehand player.. “If I were the coach of Spain, I would put him on the right, and if I were the coach of Argentina, I would prefer him not to play.”
“The Spanish coach has an ace up his sleeve”
Isaias is not the only Argentine press colleague who thinks so. Ivan Sandler, editor of Varsky Sport and Veinte Diez, also has a clear opinion on this matter: “I think the Spanish coach has an ace up his sleeve, even though he says LeBron will play on the other side.“Besides this aspect of the former number one, everyone emphasizes the great variety of options that the red team has: “It has a very large team with which it can put together several squads. The more players required, the greater the advantage Spain will have over the Argentine team.” , says Ivan.
The relationship between some of the Spanish national team players also went beyond the topic: “I really liked LeBron’s joke with the Yanguas T-shirt.. This was an unusual way to soften the connection that may be necessary, knowing that wolf He is a player on the left and can combine well with Mike,” admits the journalist.
Let’s see if Juanjo Gutierrez finally pulls off a masterstroke by bringing together two Spaniards who marked an era in the history of world padel. Tomorrow we will dispel doubts.
