Lasso: ‘If they invited me to come back to Real Madrid I couldn’t say no’
A few months after being sacked by Real Madrid, Pablo Lasso gave a lengthy interview to Marca where he spoke about his health condition, his departure from Madrid and the possibility of a return to the club.
The sacking of Pablo Lasso at Real Madrid hit European basketball like a bomb a few months ago. After 11 years in Madrid and many titles, Vasilissa’s “Lasso” chapter ended ingloriously.
The greatest manager in Real’s history gave a lengthy interview to Marca, in which he spoke about his health after suffering a heart attack, his removal from Madrid and their decision not to consider him and the possibility of a return to the club.
Pablo Lasso’s statements in detail:
For the medical certificate he has in his hands that he can train without any problems: “Of course, when you have a stroke, the first thing you think about is health. In this regard, the doctors who took me on did an excellent job. As far as the story goes, I was discharged from the hospital after 48 hours and three days later I was back in training. I’m glad to hold this document in my hands.
Over time you wonder if all of this was true, if you’re really okay, but that makes sense for someone who went through this episode. I was very shocked by the reactions of the doctors who treated me. “You’re better than before,” they told me, and that “there are worse people who fly airplanes”.
If he thought he might have died: “I didn’t fear for my life. It was a strange episode. During the night I had some chest pains, I let it go and the next day I went to the team doctor who was great and told me to go and have some tests done. When some tests came back positive, the protocol was activated and I had to follow a specific procedure. The next day I spoke to the cardiologist.
I was not afraid. I felt bad, but I didn’t let people think I was going to die or anything. I trained the team after following all the necessary instructions and taking all the precautions I needed to take. Those around me were more scared than I was.”
On the Tests Real Madrid gave him: “They didn’t do anything to me. They dismissed me when I was already dismissed by my doctors. We played the final and the truth is that I decided not to train even if I fought with some cardiologists who told me said I could.” .
The team doctor was with me all day and if I had a problem I could trust him. From then on it was agreed to leave the team and since then I’ve had tests at the cardiologist, my medication has been changed and I preferred to seek another opinion on a personal level as anyone would.
On the reason Real put forward for his sacking: “I wasn’t impressed, I thought it was normal because I thought that’s why I was expelled and they wouldn’t test someone who was expelled. But what surprised me and I didn’t understand was why they expelled me without testing me first.
If they were that concerned about my health, they would give me the tests. They told me they had tests in hand, but nobody had tested me. The only ones who did that were my doctors and the team doctor, who was fired a day later.”
Whether he believes the decision to fire him was made earlier: “They say the coach always feels alone. It was shocking because I was with the team managers who were preparing the new season and they called me into the office and told me that. I didn’t understand why.”
The team environment always helps the coach to do his job well. In that regard, I have a great relationship with everyone at Real Madrid, the players, the assistants, the press office, everyone. I also think I treated her right. We were supposed to work together, but I got fired the day after the doctor’s appointment. Of course I would continue at Real, that was the plan.”
Regarding the release announcement of Real: “They immediately told me that I will not coach the team, they did not ask me as stated in the announcement. It was like fireworks. I’m sorry to say it, I respect the new coach who took over, Chus Mateo, but it’s funny. So what will they tell him when he brings wins? “Hey, move aside, I’ll bring Lasso back?” It strikes me as odd. The person who informed me said we’ll see. I’m a coach and if they tell me I won’t coach Real Madrid anymore, I understand, I’m not stupid.
Real Madrid gave me a lot, maybe more than I gave them. I don’t take the coldness of the announcement personally. I appreciate everything Journalists take them cold. What matters to me is that I have received the loyalty of the people I value at Real and that the team has given me the chance to be the coach I am today. I’m proud of the 22 titles I got.
Whether she would return in the future: “Man. If the President invited me to come back, I wouldn’t be able to say no. My relationship with him has been amazing over the years, and if Perez ever invited me, it would be extremely difficult to say no. No matter the moment Come on I train somewhere else. I’m a Real Madrid fan and always will be. That will never change.”

Hi, my name is Jayden James. I am a writer at Sportish, and I mostly cover sports news. I have been writing since high school and have been published in various magazines and newspapers. I also write book reviews for a website. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer and basketball.
Mustafa Fal has delivered a monstrous performance in international matches and Vassilis Skoundis is tackling the problem, inevitably involving the first teacher of the art, Panagiotis Fassoulas.
“The gypsy saw his generation and his heart rejoiced,” says a proverb whose meaning fits the occasion… I mean, the occasion of Fal seeing the other Fal opposite him and enjoying him normally and in accordance with the law!
Let the necessary recommendations be made…
One of them is Mustafa Fal, who was born in Paris on February 23, 1992, he is French, he plays in his country’s national team, his hat comes from Senegal, he has been looking since he was 2.18. He is in his third season at Olympiacos…
Yusufa and Taco
The other person who competed against him yesterday is Youssoufa Fal, who was born in Dakar on January 12, 1995, is a Senegalese with French nationality, has a height of 2.21 m and is competing in Villerban for the third consecutive time…
There is of course the much wilder Taco Fal, who was also born in Dakar on December 10, 1995, spent three seasons in the NBA, is now sizzling in China and has had his head tickling the feet of God since he was 229 cm tall!
Mustafa, Yusufa and Tako have no relationship or kinship between them: they are synonymous, apart from the coincidence that ensures that they are all three kilometers long!
The triple-double figure in Pylaia
He had attacked the Olympiacos central defender again on the 11th of last month, on the occasion of the triple-double he scored in the game against PAOK in Pylaia, rare in our area, but he wanted to make us laugh for a while as his only goal!
At first he missed Yannis Fileris who treated him properly, but I also have some stitches for his fur!
To say my sin, I laughed and liked Fileris’ pun on… Wrong!
Fasoulas and… Lumidis
In any case, “Pani” was like…Lumidis in the field of coffee roasting, plus he made heads turn with soft nails with his unique and unparalleled skills.
To paraphrase Lumidis’ advertising slogan: in our case it was “Everyone in their own way and Fasoulas in their caps“!
Since the conversation broke out, the experienced PAOK and Olympiacos international center has recorded five triple-doubles with points, rebounds and blocks, which are of course rarer than those that include assists.
He scored the first of these goals on October 15, 1988 (PAOK-Panionios) with 18 points, 18 rebounds and 13 blocks.
Two weeks later he “wrote” the second with 20-18-11 against Apollon Patras, on November 19 he followed the third against Sporting (29-19-15), while in the 1990/91 season he added two more: 18 – 14-10 with Peristeri and 19-12-11 with Iraklis.
Vrankovic’s record and the “wow” with Green
Similar triple feats with plugs have also been achieved by Stojan Vrankovic (who is already the record holder in EuroLeague history with 10 in a Fortitudo Bologna-Cibona Zagreb game) with Panathinaikos, Anthony Cook with PAOK, Mike Smrek with Dafni, PJ Brown with Panionios, Efthymis Renzias with the National Youth Team and Antonis Fotsis with the Greens youth team.
On Friday night in Lyon, Fall broke the bank when he nearly followed in Draymond Green’s footsteps and posted a rare triple-double without scoring in double figures.
He reached the final horn with two points, seven rebounds, seven assists and eight blocks, while the Warriors’ cocky forward did so on February 10, 2017 against the Grizzlies with 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals and just two points.
From 0.8 to 8
Fal had grabbed 14 rebounds in the game against Red Star while he dished out seven assists in the game against Baskonia, so there is no news here…
The wave was caused by the eight caps, because on the one hand there are a lot of them and on the other hand the so-called do not have a big problem with davtes.
Before the game with Villerban, he had taken 12 shots in 14 games, and suddenly he flashed and thundered from a 0.8 average to eight!
What is the key quality a good blocker should have?
The cap for Moretti, the timing and the caps
Instead of answering, I’ll give the floor to a specialist and expert, none other than Panagiotis Fasoulas, who, among other things, scored the most decisive international match in the history of Olympiacos!
I am referring to the match against Paolo Moretti in the third game of the European Champions Cup playoff series in the 10993/94 season, thanks to which Piraeus qualified for the Final 4 in Tel Aviv.
“Everything is a question of timing“he explained to me when I asked him how he cultivated and developed his art.
“You need to know and understand where, when and how to jump to block the opponent’s shot. In addition to this sense of space and time, speed of movement and long arms also play a role. I did the caps and even covered the ball so we could go straight to attack” explains Fasoulas, who is already drawing the moral lesson of the story…
“Attack requires talent, but defense depends on will.”
The spider web
Last but not least, this desire flowed from the… gums of Fasoula, who went out and trapped his opponents in the spider’s web from which no one could escape.
From his appearance in the early 80s until his retirement in 1999, he reduced defense not only to a science, but to a spectacular spectacle!

Matias Lessor received hundreds of interesting messages from friends of Panathinaikos AKTOR about his injury and quickly explained what the situation is.
Matias Lessor’s injury was the only black mark in the game against Armani Milano. For this very reason, the people of Panathinaikos AKTOR didn’t enjoy it as much as they would have liked. At least until they received the results of the sports high school exams.
The day after the game, it became clear that the problem was not serious. However, Matias Lessor explained in detail how he feels after his injury and thanked everyone for their interest.
Matias Lesor’s message in detail:
“Thank you everyone for your lovely messages and your interest. I’m feeling much better. It just hurts, but I’m fine“.

End of alert for Matias Lesor at Panathinaikos AKTOR. The French center has a bad back due to the injury and will miss tomorrow’s (December 24th) game against Prometheus in Patras (20:15, ERT3 and LIVE on Sportish), but his tests were clear.
Matias Lesor will play in tomorrow’s (December 24th) away game of Panathinaikos AKTOR against Prometheus (8:15 p.m., 3 a.m. and LIVE from Sportish) on matchday 11 of the Stoiximan Basket League due to the lower back injury he sustained in this game , do not compete Armani Milano. But he escaped the worst.
The French center was tested immediately after the return of the “Greens” from Milan, who were “clean”. In other words, they didn’t show that the bone was broken in the middle – which everyone feared when they saw the Frenchman slaughtered on the ground. But Lesor is still in pain, ruling him out of the game against Prometheus and considered doubtful for next week’s EuroLeague game against Red Star.
With Lesor out, Oleg Balcherovski, Kostas Antetokounmpo and Dinos Mitoglou will fill the center position in the game against Prometheus.
