Navarro: "There have been attitudes on and off the track that are not worthy of this shirt"

Seven defeats in the last ten games is the complicated balance of FC Barcelona. The situation is not good and Juan Carlos Navarro, director of the club's basketball section, has come out to show his face. He has defended the coach, Roger Grimau, but has been very harsh with the players: "There have been attitudes on and off the court that we have not liked and that are not worthy of this club and this shirt."

"It is a new project in which Roger Grimau is our reference and continues to be. He is doing a great job and it is not easy. We already know what our club is like and that shirt, which demands a lot. We are aware that he is trying to do it everything so that the team flows like it did at the beginning of the season," Navarro declared.

Despite the fact that Barça has lost seven of the last ten games in all competitions, Navarro closed ranks around the coach and the squad: "We trust in him, in the project and in the players we have, and we believe that we must give a better version."

"Everything has been discussed, there is very good communication with the aim of not repeating things that have gone wrong and for people to trust again in what they can do well," he added in an interview for the media of the Barça entity. .

In his assessment of the course, Navarro insisted that it is "a new project, with many new faces after some changes" that had to be made, and stressed that "the first part of the season was very good", "even for above" your expectations.

"We have shown that we can beat any team. It is true that in December there have been defeats, and due to the nature of some defeats, there are things to change," he analyzed.

Navarro was critical of the squad, stating that "there have been attitudes on and off the court that we did not like and that are not worthy of this club and this shirt."

"There are things that have already been discussed and that will not happen again. All players must take a step forward to change this dynamic," he stated.

Finally, the head of the section sent a message to the fans: "The players are aware of the situation we are in and the support of the fans is key for us. The Palau will be packed, with the magic that always exists at the Palau and I have no doubt that the fans will help the team.

"I am sure that the team will return that strength to win these games, starting with Madrid, which is key at the beginning of the new year. We are on time for everything," he concluded.
