The former point guard and champion with Athens, Bruno Lábaquesaid that the relegation “hurts” but there will be “revenge” after the loss of the category of the National Basketball League (LNB).
“The relegation from Athens hurts a lot but there will be revenge, I tell those who are in the club. Putting together a good project, in a short time Athens will return to where it needs to be and already with its own stadium, its own home, ”Lábaque wrote on his networks.
“Athens will always continue to be the greatest by titles and although some may surpass it, we will have a great advantage,” continued the one who left the manager’s position a season ago.
Lábaque won five league titles with Athens in 1997-98, 1998-99, 2001-02, 2002-03 and 2008-09. And he also won the Champions Cup Tournament twice (1998 and 1999), an Argentine Cup (2008) and a Super 8 (2010).
The complete Lábaque publication:
“I let a few hours go by to write, sorry for what they called or wrote and I didn’t answer, you can imagine my state of mind, I preferred to remain silent, actually what I always did, “shut up so as not to throw more fuel on the fire.”
The season before this when I decided to take a breather and leave my beloved club Athens, I left telling everyone “I’m leaving because the beautiful season is beginning” (there are many witnesses inside the club), I also left because it was time for my family, for my children, 24 years as a player and 4 collaborating from wherever, even though it was fashionable to use the name “manager”, I dedicated myself to my personal projects too, from afar I saw how Americans were hired from the beginning, good national players and of names, he is happy, it was time to enjoy from the outside.
After sports, life or whatever, things don’t turn out the way you want, no matter how much effort you put into things, there are times that they don’t work out, but not for that, you will stop trying by all means to go looking for solutions on the fly, and that’s what happens in Athens, in Basketball there are no sales of players like in football that are going to save a club, in Basketball they look for mangoes day by day, clubs are no strangers to the situations of the country, (those who hide behind a keyboard or screen say DE LA ROBA. They melted the club etc etc) but the reality is that apart from managing the money for everything to work you have to put more than one out of your pocket time, and I have to do it, but not one day for a hundred of what the president put and puts, and if that doesn’t happen, and directly and how it was raised several times it’s not that you play for not descending, directly you can’t do Basketball ! That’s the truth!!
In my personal case, being hit while on the floor, it’s become a habit, some did it while I was playing and they won everything (with or without my idols and yours), because believe me that for more than that it hits the ground. floor Nadir is going to take away the peace of mind that I have and to know that I do give my life for Athens, and not only did my shirt sweat, I ripped the shirt, I threw myself headfirst even when it was not necessary to do so, and then I even sat on Very hot moments on the substitute bench…
Supporting the coach who was there and “to take pressure off the players, because when you’re there they’re going to hit you”, and that’s how it was… and why do I say this, because 11 months ago (and that was when I decided to leave the club) I lost to my beloved Mother, and there I learned what real pain is, nothing comes close to that. Today Athens was relegated, it hurts, it makes you very sad, but for those who are in the club today they know that they have revenge, that putting together a good project in a short time Athens will be where it needs to be, now with its OWN STADIUM, its own home! !! I BELIEVE THAT ITS STORY MERIA HAS ITS OWN STADIUM, NO? to consume some aggressions that are very out of place, such as messing with a son (you know that I mean you, right?). Athens is and will always be the greatest, the titles and its history say so, maybe a few years will pass and someone can overcome it, but the good thing is that Athens has many years ahead to continue writing its history. I send everyone a big hug and hopefully one day what they write will come to the club so they can really see everything that needs to be done. And the other day I thought, how good it would have been if 10 percent of all those who filled the police station had gone during the season, Athens was not even close in that instance! Athens needs a lot of you, EVERYONE!! Hug and… I LOVE YOU ATTENITAS!!”.
