Forget it in Turkey Israel today

It will end in court. The story of the abandonment of Thomas Hartl in Istanbul by his team Barcelona continues to make waves. It is estimated that the conflict that has arisen and the unusual act taken by the club will end in court in a lawsuit on behalf of the player against his team.

As is well known, the journalist Jose Hoget from Mundo de Portivo excited European basketball last night with the amazing story. The last time there was a story of this magnitude was in 2017 when Dimitris Janacopoulos, then the boss of Panathinaikos, sent his players on a bus from Istanbul to Athens because of a loss to Fenerbahce, the same loss that prevented them from advancing to the Final Four (1100 km and 12 hours). ).

As you may recall, yesterday the great Barcelona took an unusual and controversial step by all accounts. After the loss in Istanbul to Anadolu Zero she did not allow the French coordinator to board the plane back to Barcelona. This is an ugly end to Hartal’s time at the Catalan club where he played four successful seasons and was one of the top earners in Europe (almost 2 million euros per season).

Recently, the player’s education in front of his coach Sharonas Jaskovicius and it is not really clear why this is one of the leading coordinators on the continent. Sharas has “dried” Hartl in recent games and it has been decided to say goodbye to him. “We will try to find the best solution for both sides,” the Lithuanian coach concluded.

It did not happen. On the contrary. Barcelona prevented its player from taking off back to the city where his family is. The reason it was not explicitly stated by anyone but thrown into the air is no less and no more “betrayal.” It is estimated that Barça wanted him to move to Fenerbahce and the claim was that the latter was actually negotiating with Real Madrid.

Barcelona, ​​who are about to release the French center because they are just not happy with him, are also trying to determine where he will go. She wants him to move to Fenerbahce rather than the big rival from Madrid. The team has already signed on for his replacement – Leo Westerman from Fenerbahce. And if that’s not enough, in Barcelona they went for the controversial move precisely during the Corona period when air traffic was problematic.

On the other hand there is a counter-version in favor of the club which states that Barça have pledged to pay the player a million euros for allowing the contract and he is going to play for Real Madrid, when in fact the deadly club will indirectly fund it. The question is whether this excuse can justify such an extreme step.

Following the chain of events, and at the same time as the confrontation between the player and the club, the battle saturated with emotions and bad blood between Barcelona and Real opened. The Euroleague players’ association has announced that it will stand behind the player and turn to the Euroleague to take action against the club. “This case is unacceptable,” it said.

The bizarre case also drew harsh reactions from a number of actors, including Mike James, Malcolm Delaney, Jordan Lloyd, Tyrese Rice, Kevin Sarafin, Othello Hunter Hunter and Evan Fournier.

Eventually, Hartl boarded a plane back to Barcelona via Lyon where he met CSKA Moscow players, who had returned from a game against Villarban. Earlier, Barcelona issued a statement claiming that “the player was not abandoned.” His request, even though he was not on the roster for the game to take care of his affairs (referring to negotiations with Fenerbahce).

After Hartl announced that negotiations had exploded, it was decided that the player would not return with the team because he was no longer part of it. Club officials claimed they had provided the player with a hotel, flight ticket and flight arrangements to return to Barcelona. On the other hand, Barcelona made sure to state at the end of the announcement that Hartl is still its player … and she hopes that the disputes will be resolved in the coming days.
