"To have made my debut with Barcelona and with the national team, I couldn't be prouder. "It has been a lot of work alone, many ups and downs, a lot of uncertainty, but at the same time happiness," he noted. I would have liked to have beaten the United States because it would have been extraordinary, but we have not had the luck in the competition that is needed sometimes to be able to advance," added Marc.įor Pau, the last two years has been a journey that has been worthwhile for moments like the Olympics.
"We'll have time to look back and digest everything. "I'm very proud of the team and I'm grateful to be here again after what I've been through, and that's already a great success." "It is time to recognise this team after so many years, we would like to have won all of the championships and all the medals, but it doesn't work like that," Pau recognised. The oldest of the Gasol brothers retires as the best player in Spain's history. "It was a shame we couldn't win, now it's time to disconnect and talk to the family about whether or not it is worth continuing my career or whether I should step aside and take on new challenges." "Regardless of the final result, it is the last game with this great team," Pau Gasol reflected. Pau confirmed his retirement from international basketball but didn't confirm anything about his future at club level. "We have had great luck, but it is time to let the new generation get on, enjoy themselves and have their own experience."
"It is time to get off the rollercoaster that we went on many years ago," said Marc Gasol after the quarter-final defeat to the USA. It was a decision that Pau's brother Marc also made, bringing an end to his adventure with the national team that began 15 years ago in Saitama. Pau Gasol announced his retirement from the Spanish national team in what was an open secret since the start of the Tokyo Olympics, following his side's 95-81 loss against the United States on Tuesday.
