Two years and a month have passed since he left Real Madrid for the NBA. This Sunday he returned as a Christmas present for himself, the Argentine fans who venerate him and the Serbs who packed the Red Star stadium to see his debut.
The party was complete. Red Star won 86-57 against Borac Mozzart from Bosnia in the Adriatic League, a tournament played by the best teams from each country of the former Yugoslavia. Facu entered for Luca Vildoza already in the middle of the first quarter (coach Dusko Ivanovic rotated the team due to the tight schedule) and stood out.
Campazzo left his mark in the 19 minutes he played: defensive intensity, steals, unexpected and luxurious assists, and goalscoring. His roster marked 11 points (1 of 1 doubles, 2 of 5 triples, 3 of 3 free throws), 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 turnovers.
also played Luca Vildoza, who is the figure of a team with a lot of Serbian identity especially in Euroleague. The man from Mar del Plata scored 3 points, gave 5 assists and stole 3 balls in 14 and a half minutes on the court.
Estrella’s next game will be next Friday, for the Euroleague, at home and nothing more and nothing less than against Barcelona, the leader of the tournament with Nicolás Laprovittola.
It will be special for a team with a long history that is once again excited to resume leadership in Europe with the Vildoza-Campazzo-Nedovic trident (Nenmanja, Serbian national team; in addition to the experienced coach Dusko). And it will be special for Facundo, identified with Madrid, for facing the team that gave him the most nightmares.
Next Friday, 3:00 p.m., go to a screen, the three point guards of the Argentine National Team are playing in the match that will be the most watched of the day. And all three are protagonists.
