The starting week of a new season of Liga Endesa came marked by the victory of Unicaja in the final of Endesa Super Cup in front of him Real Madrid, but also for some Pablo Laso’s controversial statement about the nature of Willy Hernangomez respect to Roger Grimau, in the well-known incident that happened in Monaco, and which ‘Bar Canaletes’ reported at the time, in a Euroleague game last season.
In one of the most tense moments of the final course, where Barça had a month of December to forget, sparks flew between the center of Barça and the former coach of the team, who had to listen, in the voice of Hernangómez, “Don’t worry, you have two news programs left.”
A fact, about which Laso did not bite his tongue: “The player is quite subnormal. Because I’m a bit sarcastic, I should have told him what the news program was. For that to happen, the coach doesn’t have to allow it either. I’m sure there are things on the way. You can’t go into situations like that. If you reach that point of contention it’s because you haven’t done your job well. I could never get into a situation like that. Either he follows or I follow”, he reflected on an Economic Forum organized by Dato Magazine.
An excess of words used by the Baskonia coach, which created a great stir, and that They forced Laso to personally call Willy Hernangómez to apologize, of the information advanced by journalist Xavi Saisó of SER. The coach took advantage of the communication to tell the Barça center that his criticism was more than an expression that caused a lot of controversy. Moreover, the media focused on it both sides turn the page after explaining the situation, as well as Barça itself.
