Saronas Yassikevitsios “do not get on the flight” to Tomas Hertel, after the defeat of Barcelona in Istanbul, by Anadolu Efes was the most unsuccessful path that “Saras” found to manage the greatest crisis he has experienced as a coach. Let’s see everything that happened in the last twenty-four hours and we’ll talk about it later.
The information disclosed by Ismail senol, from beLN Sports was that Leo Westermann had agreed to leave Fenerbahce to meet Jasikevicius again. The two had collaborated in the 2016-17 season and the 2018-19 season.
The French guard experienced his sixth move in eight seasons. The greatest collaboration he had ‘lived’ in the meantime was his two-year presence at Partizan (2012-14), while two other seasons he had ‘spent’ in Limoges (2014-2016). Since then it has been limited to one-year appearances (Zalgiris, CSKA, Zalgiris). Their collaborations were always resolved by mutual agreement. This happened now, two days before the dunias found out. That is, Monday 12/21. The next day, Barcelona was leaked as the most likely destination, something that was confirmed in the afternoon of the same day. In fact, the end of Westerman’s relationship with Fener was decided when Marko Guduric became a resignation from the Grizzlies, in the next two days no one asked him, so he could go wherever he wanted. He returned to the Turkish national team, which gave him a three-year contract.
He noted that Guduric is represented by Misko Razniatovic’s Beobasket agency. Guess who else belongs to him. To help you. They are French.
Let’s go to Barcelona now. From the day Saronas Yassikevitsius left for Barcelona, the biggest ‘let’s see what happens’ was his collaboration with Thomas Ertel. It was clear that the philosophy -f liberal- of the French for basketball is far from that of ‘Sarah’, of the absolute order and of the specific structures that everyone is obliged to obey. According to reports, this relationship was not helped by another element: Hertel’s excellent relationship with Svetislav Pesic, a boy who was replaced by Jasikevicius on the Blaugrana bench and who did not like him (chic) since he was a player, for something that he had done in his coexistence at ‘Barça’.
The first month of collaboration between Sarah and Hertel was recognizable, with the coach giving opportunities that were cut as the days went by. They got to the point of leaving the player in the bank or not putting him on missions. When he was given a (few) minutes of participation, he accompanied each French mistake with a grimace of frustration / anger. She had already decided to change it.
The players he wanted to see in Barcelona were Thomas Wilcup or Marius Grigonis, whom he chose for Zalgiris in the summer of 2018. The belief that the Lithuanians would work with him and give up one of the two guards was not verified. . He ran out of solutions and then Westerman came along as a ‘proposal’, which wasn’t perfect, but was better than nothing.
Westerman had clarified his relationship with Fener, with the termination of the contract. Hertel does not. His fat contract was still active. And he needed his consent to go where the ‘blaugrana’ (Fenerbahce) wanted to send him. Only the Turkish team no longer needed him, due to Guduric.
It was rumored at the time -among what each team pays to know what is happening to them- that the Hertel spokesman has spoken with the Real, a team that is still looking for a replacement for Facudo Cabasso, who is now Jokic’s teammate. Nuggets. And obviously the ‘whites’ would never go to Barcelona to tell them ‘we want Hertel’. Razniatovic, representing both Frenchmen, is said to have taken over the entire process.
You imagine the evolution. The ‘blaugrana’ were outraged to the point of wanting to break all ties with the Serbian lawyer and agent. Zeljko Obradovic had done the same in the past, with the continuation of the ‘phase’ finding him still not speaking to him, as he took his ‘clients’ to Fener.
As you probably know, nothing that concerns more than one person can be hidden. Much more in a league like the Euroleague. When the news you just read reached Sarah’s ears, she was furious. And he made the first big mistake of his coaching career, a move that goes back to other times (decades before): he left Hertel in Istanbul, where he was at Barça for the game against Anadolu Efes, and obviously he didn’t. had used.
This revelation was made by José Ingacio Huguet, from Mundo Deportivo.
He wrote that there was a very interesting detail: Barcelona had agreed to give Hertel 1,200,000 euros, to agree to ‘terminate’ his contract. The player agreed, but no relevant document was signed on the spot. If this had happened, Hertel would have played in La Real and ‘Barça’ would have paid for it (Madrid would have given just 500,000 euros).
Although the blaugrana accuse Hertel of ‘fraud’ (they say that he asked to travel with the team to Turkey to end Fenerbahce – while he already had a verbal agreement with Real), the fact is that Saras said (the information that ‘da’ as the inspiration for the decision not to put the Frenchman on the flight) is unacceptable. On many different levels.
What until now seemed to be his main ‘weapon’: the ability to better understand his players, have been among the best and find the ideal ways to ‘manage’ them, as well as knowing how to treat team players. Through what he had experienced in his transfers, he is now back on a boomerang. In the biggest crisis he has faced to date as a manager, he got ‘below base’.
In addition, it dissolved the organism’s ‘spectacle’ that whatever happens, a cleaner cut image emerged. Obviously, there is no question of ethics (in the hard times of Covid-19 and since we are talking about professional basketball, where since the teams are legitimized to say ‘I don’t love you’, the players are also legitimized to do what they think they do. it’s better for them – obviously within legal limits). As someone wrote on Twitter, if Hertel is “charged” with a moral problem, Nikola Mirotic should be burned in hell. But Mirotic receives 5,000,000 euros a year, so that does not ‘touch’ him.
In the absence of other options (unless it is proven that the tests are fraudulent), the only thing Barcelona can do for the moment is to send Hertel to the second team, an experience that Tyrese Rice also lived. Only she can’t leave him there forever, as this will mean that she won’t be able to strengthen the region, something she needs. He needs the money that the Frenchman will leave behind.
It was recently revealed that the matter is being investigated by the Euroleague Players Association.
