Leandro Bolmaro is preparing for a crucial window with Argentina, who will host Puerto Rico in Mar del Plata on August 28 before visiting Canada in Quebec City on September 1. \u201cPlaying in the World Cup and another Olympic Games would be spectacular,\u201d the Olimpia Milano player said in an interview in Argentina.<\/p>\n
Bolmaro revealed that his teammates, coach and staff convinced him to return: \u201cThey told me they needed me and wanted to reach the World Cup. Something clicked.\u201d The confidence gained during the last season also influenced his decision: \u201cI feel prepared and I\u2019m ready to take on this responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Argentine guard also mentioned the possibility of facing stars such as Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama: \u201cThose are spectacular games that bring the best out of you.\u201d Bolmaro considers the home opener against Puerto Rico crucial before the trip to Canada, which will make him one of the last international players to rejoin Peppe Poeta\u2019s team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
