This doubtful Madrid no longer scares anyone

Madrid’s new defeat, this time on the site of the “experienced” Baskonia, is proof of this. that Chusa Mateo’s team is going through a real “test” at the beginning of the season, something they haven’t thought about for years.

Team Madrid, used to dominating in fights with Campazzo, threes from Hezonja, rebounds and intimidation from Tavaresis in a serious crisis, which erupted just a few games before the start of the new season.

Injuries like Andres Feliz’s Hezonja’s bad words to the coach and the absence of Campazzo, due to the fact that the EuroLeague referees no longer give him a single pass, put Mateo’s team in a situation as unexpected as it was difficult. Against Basque Country Campazzo’s absence was significant, although Madrid’s problem is more of a structural one. than a single player.

March of the players like Rudy Fernandez and “Chacho” Rodriguez, who always found the magic that the team was missing.or the interiors of Poirier and Yabusele, who preferred to move to the NBA – important names who did not find a quality replacement.

Down in the ranking

It’s just the beginning of the season and Mateo is trying to put out all the fires, but the reality is that this team is limping towards and much more with Felis’ injury and Lull, who is already running out of gasand on the inside, it doesn’t look like there’s a clear replacement for Yabusele.

Used to weathering Barça’s woes in recent years, it now appears that the crisis is moving to Madrid.And probably the signing of the contract will not take long, because the team, accustomed to fighting for everything, seems like a real mediocre team, and this is unbearable in the capital.

The reality is that Madrid ranks last in the Euroleague standings (1-2), as well as in the Endesa League (1-2).

something that the culés should enjoy, although logic dictates that they fly. But now it’s time to enjoy the moment, even if it involves the problems of arch-rivals Blaugrana..
