What would have happened in the parallel universe where Luis Figo would have returned to FC Barcelona after his freelance at Real Madrid? Spanish basketball will soon be able to solve this great mystery of Science with the return of Thomas Heurtel to Barça. The French international, however, betrayed the Catalans to join the Merengue three years ago, before leaving for Russia and then getting lost in China.
Waited firmly by a group of journalists at Barcelona airport, Thomas Heurtel said he was “surprised” to have been approached by the leaders of his old-new club but “very happy” to return to Barcelona. “I am more than ready and more than motivated. I really can't wait to get started,” added the 35-year-old Frenchman, whose return betrays a certain difficulty in reinventing himself in the basketball section of the Blaugrana club, which is struggling on a sporting level (11th in the Euroleague). “I followed everything. They are going through a difficult time but we will try to overcome it as quickly as possible. »
Heurtel will have “time to speak with the supporters”
At the time of his return, Heurtel said he “spoke with everyone” at the club, except the supporters who showed their disagreement with the reinforcement made by the management of Barça basketball. “I will have time to speak with them and with the people I have to speak to, but I really want to start and give something more to the team,” replied Thomas Heurtel. The reunion promises to be frosty.
