Captain Facundo Campazzo, author of 14 points and 17 assists, analyzed the blow receivedwho added to the non-classification to the World Cup: “We have things clear. This hurt us, it hurts a lot, but I think we have to put our energy into continuing to work. This is part of the process, you win, you lose, you have to live it, you have to learn. We grew as a team, I personally saw very good things, winning plays, details during this final, other details that made us lose the game, a bit of getting to know the opponent we had at the key moment. You have to chew this and move on. You have to keep building, and the best way to do it is with desire“.

The point guard, who played 37 minutes and 31 seconds, practically without rest due to Luca Vildoza’s injury, added: “In general terms, although we lost, the first half was very good, the third quarter was good. In the end they were a lot one on one, ex officio, with a lot of individual talent, and they defended us in an area where they complicated us and we couldn’t find a solution. It’s a shame, because we trained hard, but now we have to put our energy into the next thing, no matter what tournament it is, to keep building. There is something good, a lot of talent, young people, and the desire is there. We have to keep going“.
Campazzo, one of the most experienced players on the team, concluded: “We failed because it was our objective to win the tournament. We must give credit to Bahamas, who brought a great team, a lot of very good individuality, and it was on the papers that they would win. But we wanted to compete, we knew we could beat them, we had the confidence, the material and the idea. At times we did well, at times not so well, in the end it got a bit complicated, but we must also give credit to them, they played a great game They have a very talented team.”
