Campazzo's Plea: Will Atleti Return to Basketball?
A Real Madrid player has reignited the flame of desire among the Rojiblancos fans: the return of Atlético de Madrid to basketball! Facundo Campazzo publicly acknowledged his longing to play a derby against a Colchoneros team on the court.
The history of Atlético in basketball evokes glorious memories. From its beginnings in the 1920s, to the memorable era between 1989 and 1992, with figures such as Walter Berry and Shelton Jones dazzling the fans.
Colchoneros fans still remember those exciting duels, especially the vibrant matches against Real Madrid. In recent years, approaches to Estudiantes have been explored, but without a union being finalized for the first team.
The absence of a derby in the capital is felt, and the idea of Atlético competing in basketball generates enthusiasm among the fans. Campazzo also praised the ‘game by game’ philosophy popularized by Diego Simeone, highlighting its effectiveness in maintaining concentration and focus on the present. The possibility of seeing Atleti in basketball remains latent, a dream that many share and that could become an exciting reality.
