Casa Demont Zaragoza won the third place match against Cheongju KB Stars at Sajik Gymnasium in Busan on the 7th, 83-78. Zaragoza, the first European team to participate in the Park Shinja Cup, finished the first competition in third place.
After the game, Carlos said, `I'm glad it ended healthy and unhurt. I was worried that there were fewer players who could play as some players were missing (during the tournament). I'm glad I finished well. I'm glad I could finish it by winning. It's nice to be able to go back to Spain happily."
Zaragoza received great attention. This is because it is the first European team to participate in the Park Shin-ja Cup history. The Park Shin-ja Cup, which marks its 10th anniversary this year, has expanded its stride to an international competition. It has emerged as an international competition by inviting a European team for the first time this year. Zaragoza is the second-place team in the Spanish Women's Basketball League in the 2024-2025 season. Zaragoza made a strong impression with his height and power. However, Carlos caused controversy for his 'non-manner behavior' off the court.
Carlos lost 64:70 to Japan in the semifinals on the 6th. After the game, an official press conference was held 'passing', causing controversy. "I'm sorry that I couldn't come in after the KB match on the 7th." The players couldn't come in because of their physical strength. There were eight people available. Two of them were injured and had to take time to rest and treat. I had to quickly return to my accommodation. Once again, I'm sorry", he apologized. He is very fond of Asia. I've been to Japan a lot. If I get an invitation, I want to come again," he added.
The problem did not end here. He was given a technical foul at the end of the fourth quarter against KB. I laughed a lot about the question after the game. It seemed that he would not leave Korea unless he received a technical foul. I was curious about the referee's reaction. I did it because I was curious about the referee's reaction to what I was doing."As a joke in Spain... For example, when I was in Spain, I got a lot of T-Pauls. I felt like I could only go if I got this. I came to Busan, but I can't go without visiting Gwangalli. That's what it felt like."
When Carlos said 'It could sound ridiculous' that's absolutely not the case. The reason why I couldn't participate in the interview yesterday (6th) is because of the players. I ran too fast from the beginning because of jet lag, so physically. It was because three players couldn't play and some players had to go in the middle due to personal reasons, so they had to focus on playing with the rest of the players."
