When Christmas revealed that ABA García Renaissance, a 74-year-old Spaniard who trained for ALBA, was infected with the coronavirus, the media questioned whether the match would take place in the German capital.
However, after repeated tests of the ALBA basketball players on Sunday afternoon, no new cases of COVID-19 were registered, so the game should go according to plan, on Tuesday to start at 9 pm Lithuanian time.
Following this news, the Albatross were able to return to their preparation plans for Tuesday’s Euroleague battle with Kaunas “Žalgiris”.
The ALBA team will be led by their assistant coach, the Israeli-Israeli González.
“It just came to our attention then. Not just because there’s always one or another injured basketball player in our ranks or because we won’t have a chief strategist on the team.
We barely had time to prepare for the match because after a positive Aito test, the team was forced to isolate itself for a short time.
We must remain united and trust the team spirit, because this season we have already experienced many difficult situations, ”I. González, 45, told the ALBA website. The basketball specialist has been working in Berlin since 2017 and has consistently held the senior position throughout his career. the assistant coach position.
29-year-old ALBA striker Niels Giffey was happy to meet Marius Grigonis again in Berlin, and will also meet Žalgiris helmsman Martin Schiller face to face.
“I and the other players of the German team are happy for Martin, with whom we work in the national team. We respect our opponents a lot,” Žalgiris “is playing a strong season.
The fact that there is no head coach in our ranks without injured players only weakens us. He is part of the team, like every basketball player, so we will have him, ”said N. Giffey, who has played for ALBA since 2014.
The Berlin club’s game in the German league was postponed last weekend. The team from the capital had to meet with MBC Weißenfels.
“Žalgiris” (9/7) had gotten into great sporting form before Christmas. In the Euroleague, Kaunas won four matches in a row, and in the last one they dramatically broke another German team: Bayern Munich.
At that time, ALBA (6/9) fell into the pits again and lost their last two matches of the tournament with a crushing difference: 69:92 for Panathinaikos of Athens and 62:91 for Real Madrid.
