The Argentine basketball team is in Las Vegas preparing to play the Tokyo Olympics and when it seemed that peace reigned, the captain Luis Scola charged hard against the current leadership of the Argentine Confederation, making clear the enormous differences that it maintains with the management of the entity.
“The people who are in the CAB do not want to know absolutely anything with me,” the captain of the national team surprisingly assured in statements to the newspaper Clarín. “He has a huge rejection for me, for what I think and what I want to do. And wants me as far as possible“He added about the relationship they have.
It is not the first time that Luifa stands against the leadership of the entity. In 2014 he led the opposition of the National Team to contest the Spain World Cup if there were no changes in driving. As a consequence, the president German Vaccaro he resigned, a legal case was opened against him and finally Argentina played the World Cup.
In 2019, Scola, DT Sergio Hernández and several players publicly supported the candidacy of Federico Susbielles, but lost against Fabian Borro, a reason that led the Sheep to resign from the position, although he was later convinced, he returned after his European experience and will be in Japan.
Although he didn’t mention it, Scola took aim directly at Borro. “Our ways of understanding a sports organization in any of its aspects they are on so opposite paths that if they told me ‘we want you to come help us’ I would feel uncomfortable. And I’m sure they are comfortable that I think differently, “he explained to make it clear that the crack is huge.
The Olympic Games will mark the withdrawal of Scola And when asked if he will turn to be a leader to one day lead the destinies of Argentine basketball, he assured that “at some point he had that interest, but when these people returned to manage the CAB I lowered my arms a little. Because, at the end of the day, we did so much to change things and we found ourselves, five years later, in practically the same place as before … That was quite demotivating. “
