Sunday, April 27. The Bilbao Basket, the FIBA Europe Cup champion, will play before its people for the first time since the Olympus played in Greece. It will be a day of tributes, to pay the deserved reconomcient to the black heroes. Of course, the opponent must also make the traditional hall of the champion. All normal, of course. To see who is the rival that the Surne faces; The UCAM Murcia of Sito Alonso, that coach who does not have good feeling with the Bilbao fans.
That bad vibes dates back to his departure from Bilbao Arena almost a decade ago. Specifically to 2016. Then, the coach born in Madrid had a contract with the Bilbao Basket until 2020. However, Baskonia, the great rival of the Biscayans, knocked on his door. After long negotiations, the pact between both parties broke and Alonso left for Vitoria. Since then, the Black fans have her in her point of view: the whistles and boos are usual to her person every time she returns to Miribilla.
-In fact, a couple of years ago he complained that they called him “pesetero” from the stands. “That word has bothered me,” he confessed in the press room. «Pesetero is a lie. I have left 115,000 euros net to Bilbao Basket. I am not a pesetero, I have not been in my life. In all the clubs in which I have been tried whenever the money was behind my sporting goals, I do not forgive it in life. Nobody calls me. I am absolutely the opposite. From the rest, I will not insist on an issue that when I am older I will speak, but the Pesetero did not allow anyone and less in Bilbao Basket, ”he said at the press conference.
Aumás, on his return to Miribilla, in May 2017, Alonso received one of the biggest bronchs that have been seen in Bilbao Arena since it opened. “He went to the French one, without saying goodbye,” said a fan consulted by the mail. “He has deserved it,” said another. This Sunday returns to Bilbao. Once again, now with an eye on the traditional hall to the champions.
