Campazzo spoke of the change of coach in the basketball team: “They were three or four days with turbulence”

The The Argentine basketball team had a hectic weekAnd not just for away matches, complaints, a defeat, another victory and the World Cup in sight. The The departure of Néstor García made a noisebut the page has already been turned and Pablo Prigioni took the team. That said, Facundo Campazzo spoke of the change of DT and his future: “Every day I wonder where I will go to play”.

Facu, captain of the national teamwas clear by summarizing what was experienced as a “bad situation “, but also warned that the group has moved on and focused on what’s coming, like the Americup, where it will debut on Saturday. In a chat with TyC Sports, from Recife, Brazil, where the tournament is being played, Campazzo talked about everything. A few complaints about travel, his desire to continue in the NBA and identity of the Selection.

Everything Campazzo said

What happened in the Selection:

“It’s been three, four days with a bit of turbulence, we haven’t got used to it, it’s always a bad situation when a coach leaves, but you have to go on, turn the page, Pablo is there, trust him, give everything for this Americup. The group is fine, united, this is the important thing. 24 hours after the first match, the desire to start over and do a good job “.

Team search:

“We had very good three quarters against the Bahamas, the first, the third and the fourth, but in the second they came to us, we let them score points and we dried up in attack. Our second half, both defensive and offensive, it was very good. I think that is what we have to copy for this tournament. The idea will not change much, some changes that Pablo will make with his way of directing, we trust in that, the desire to continue growing, building identity and improve as a team “.

The arrival of Prisons:

“It means a lot, both for each of the players and for the point guards, he was a formidable point guard, we have to absorb as much as possible. He lives 24 x 7 with the NBA, he has been there for several years, he has an excellent vision in this sense, we have to take advantage of it. We have to trust this and rely on its leadership, we are given 100%. “

The DNA of the Selection:

“There is a base that is never negotiated, it is maintained, in the end it is the way we feel comfortable playing and we have been building for several years, even with good results, only details, minimum details that make the difference in such a tournament “We continue with that construction, the defense, the extra step, which will never be negotiated. Then it’s the tactics that maybe changes a bit “.

“Although now we may not have much time to train with Pablo, these matches are useful, what we can train will be very useful for what is coming, that we want to qualify for the World Cup. There are still two windows left, give everything, the team has I really want to qualify, get back together, get back on a path towards a World Cup, with my head stuck there “.

“We trust in the work ethic that has been done in recent years”.

Travel complaint:

“In terms of windows there is something not working, which is the question of the trip, we had to go from Buenos Aires to Canada, three, four stops, several hours in between, finish playing, return, make the same trip with the same stairs, same hours of waiting and in less than 48 hours to play another game. It is not healthy to travel from one end of the world to the other. In Europe it is better to think about it because everything is closer. Here in America it is more complicated , I don’t know the solution, playing the two games in the north, in the south, dividing the continent in half and playing like this, we need to remedy because the physique and health of the athletes is fundamental “.

Play in Argentina:

“To be with our people again, a full stadium, a city that thrives on basketball, it’s nice to meet again like this. People feel identified with this team for everything we try to spread.”

His future: NBA?

“It’s the same question I ask myself, every day, where I go to play, I have no answer, I’d like to give you the scoop, I don’t know … Keep waiting, be patient, my head is at 100 here in Americup. good people who work around me, I know what is to come will be the best for me, my priority is to try another opportunity in the NBA, they are trying to do it, personally I am calm, my characteristic is not patience, but strangely I’m here, because I’m here to have fun with my team-mates and in the national team, there are moments when I get anxious, but not every day. “

The America’s Cup:

“We have material to do important things, even if we have set ourselves the ultimate goal of winning the Americup, we have to grow as a group in terms of play, we are building it and with short-term goals, like tomorrow playing better than against the Bahamas. and therefore grow as a team “.
