The Euroleague is approaching its final line-up and Maccabi Tel Aviv, which until recently was in the middle of a nightmare season, can control its fate and determine whether it will face Real Madrid or Milan in the playoffs. , Will be happy to hear that while they are preparing for last season’s regular season game – there is real chaos in Madrid.
As you may recall, Real announced last night (Saturday) to Thomas Hartl and Trey Tompkins, two prominent players on the team, that they are released from the team and can leave immediately. The reason for the decision, according to reports in Spain, is that last Thursday the two stars were absent from the Blancos’ training before the game against Bayern Munich – but this morning more details are revealed that tell what is happening behind the scenes in Madrid.
This is not the first time the Blancos, who will meet Barcelona tonight in the Spanish league after suffering six losses in their last seven games, are facing disciplinary issues. Especially when it comes to Hartl. According to a report by the Marca, Hartal is an “uncontrollable figure” – and that, as I recall, is also what brought him from Barcelona to Real.
It was also said that Hartl had already registered some friction with Pablo Lasso, the last of which took place in the last league game against Tenerife. Hartl showed the Real coach that he did not like one of the decisions he made with the help of hand gestures. However, Lasso kept his anger at the heartbeat until the final minutes before the last Euroleague game against Bayern Munich – then confirmed that he has a full squad ahead of the game and surprisingly decided to take the guard away from him.
As for Tompkins, the situation is slightly different. The forward, who arrived at Real Madrid in the summer of 2015, is under a magnifying glass on a daily basis because of the many physical problems that accompany him. Aside from the many injuries, Marca revealed that Briel were unhappy with Tompickens’ obesity problem – something that has sidelined him more than once.
Thus, Real Madrid will try to prevent Barcelona from opening an even bigger gap in the league tonight and may stop the snowball before the start of the Euroleague playoffs. At the same time, the Blancos will closely follow the result of Maccabi Tel Aviv’s game against Fenerbahce. . The second game, if and when, will take place on April 22 (Friday night), while Games 3 and 4 (if any) will take place on April 26 and 28.
