Mourning in the Real Madrid family as Eli John Diagé’s mother passed away today at the age of 49.

Madrid issued a statement expressing its condolences to the family of the team’s player.

Real’s announcement in detail:

“Real Madrid, its president and its board are deeply saddened by the death of Therese Fage, the mother of our player Eli John Diagé. Real Madrid would like to express its condolences, love and affection to her husband, Francois Emmanuel Ediagé, her children Eli, Nicolas and Philomene, as well as her entire family and loved ones. Thérèse Fagé died today at the age of 49. Rest in peace.”

Real Madrid were the winners of the Spanish derby against Barcelona, ​​​​with 16-year-old Ismaila Dianje putting in an excellent performance in the 13:26 minutes he played, earning considerable playing time.

We remind you that Eddie Tavares was ruled out of the big derby due to a respiratory infection and the Madrid coach did not hesitate to throw Dianier into the deep end.

The young center had a double-double with 9 points and 8 rebounds, and Chus Mateo spoke about him in the press conference, emphasizing that if things didn’t go well, people would think he was crazy for putting a 16-year-old .

In detail he explained:

“I didn’t know he was 16, the boy works well and his minutes are a reward. He is a great player like Hugo Gonzalez, Igor Demin and Mitar Bosniakovic.” I want to have the best possible players when the important ones come along. If it had gone wrong, people would have said that Chu’s Mateo was crazy for using a 16-year-old.

Eddie Tavares remains ill and out of action, but Real continue to find ways to surprise. This time the European champions beat Barcelona 86:79 in the third game of the Endesa league. 16-year-old center Ismail Dianieh won the looks and applause by hitting a double-double in limited playing time.

Dianier played 13:26, was .500 and finished the game with 9 points (4/6 2-pointers and 1/2 shots) and 8 rebounds. The great Vincent Poirier, who put his opponents in the baskets, followed by Janan Moussa, and the Madrilenians show their strength before a season in which they want to achieve a championship in Europe again.

Disappointing performance from the much touted Willy Hernangometh (4 points in 11:07), disappointing performances from Jan Vesely, Nikola Kalinic, Tomas Satoranski and Jabari Parker, with Barcelona once again showing they have not started the year well. In a year in which Roger Grimau replaced Sarunas Jasikevicius.
