At a press conference, the “Wolf” showed his new faces. With “Lobito” Fernández at the helm, GEPU will debut this Saturday at the “Emilio Perazzo”. The head of the Sports Program, Cintia Ramírez, accompanied the players and managers during the presentation.
This Saturday at 10:00 p.m., GEPU will debut in the Federal Basketball League against Revolución de San Juan. With the support of the Government of San Luis and renewed expectations, the “Wolf” from San Luis will face this new dream with a clear objective: to be the protagonist from the first minute.
This Thursday, at the “Emilio Perazzo”, the official presentation of the campus took place. The head of the Sports Program, Cintia Ramírez, together with the vice president of the institution, Rafael Costa; coach Gustavo “Lobito” Fernández and his technical assistant Gustavo Morla; and the players Gustavo Acosta and Juan Menna, answered the questions from the press and all agreed to describe this project as “a great challenge”.
“We live this with great expectation, as we have always done in San Luis. We bet on more, to achieve all the objectives because we are passionate about having this type of challenge. It is good that we work together because to achieve things we need all those who love sports, leaders, fans, players and coaches”, said the head of Sports.
On the other hand, Ramírez stressed that the team is made up “70% by San Luis players” and assured that “from Sports we will accompany the clubs in everything they need to be able to transcend”. In that tune, he broadened his view and revealed that “we have a plan for each of the sports” and maintained that “GEPU is not an isolated case.”
“Lobito” Fernández, point guard for the GEPU champion in the 90s, returned to San Luis to take charge of the team and said: “I live this with a lot of responsibility, but calm down, enjoying myself because I am very satisfied with the work we are doing.” “I feel very eager for this to reach what we have in mind and what the club deserves,” he added.
Regarding his return to the club that saw him succeed as a player, the now coach praised “the intention and the search for this project.” “There is a lot to improve and to do, and I would like to be part of all this. The intention is very clear and noble, accompanied by Cintia Ramírez and Agustín Alessio on behalf of Alberto Rodríguez Saá. We want San Luis and GEPU to be back on the basketball radar,” he said.
Regarding sports and the rivals they will face, “Lobito” was satisfied with the beginning of this process and stressed the importance of “knowing the category and rivals day by day to improve the proposal we have.”
