Lebrón explained: “You know that Ale and I don’t have the best relationship, but it’s not the time to start a war. When I play for Spain, it’s to contribute the best I can to my team, without any regrets towards anyone, zero,”
He added that he would follow the national coach’s tactical decisions without hesitation, regardless of which player occupied the other side of the 20×10 court.
He stated: “If I have to play with Ale every day because the coach says so, I’ll play with Ale every day, or with Aimar, ‘Coki’, or Paquito,”
Representing Spain means putting personal differences aside, Lebrón said, adding: “I’d play with Ale every day. I think he’s been at an incredibly high level these last few years, and he’s proven it, and for my country, I’d do anything.”
A reunion between the former World No. 1 partners is still not guaranteed. Galán’s injury has raised concerns over whether he will be available for the World Cup.
Lebrón backs his partnership with Leo Augsburger
Lebrón and Leo Augsburger discussed their season at the press conference, including the fight for the highest ranking positions and the tactical progress they have made with Agustín Gómez Silingo. After difficult draws and early exits earlier in the campaign, they recently advanced to the final in Milan.
The pair have now played together for almost a year, and Lebrón said he has complete faith in continuing the project alongside the young Argentine.
Asked why he selected Augsburger as his teammate, Lebrón replied: “I would choose him again every time, of course,”
Lebrón specifically praised the Argentine’s ability to deliver under pressure, identifying the quality that impressed him most in close moments.
Lebrón finished by saying: “What has surprised me the most is his ability to win in those difficult moments, when the game was close, to say: ‘I’m here and I’m going to give you the game,'”
