Trained in the lower categories of Club B\u00e0squet Llagostera and Club Sant Josep Girona, S\u00e0bat would make his debut at CB Girona of ACB in the 2002-03 season while competing for the linked team: ADEPAF Figueres of EBA. After adding minutes in the 2003-04 course, he would get the first team card in 2004-05, with which he would play 21 games.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After tasting the ACB, he would struggle as a player in the FEB categories defending the jersey of teams such as Lleida, Tenerife, Vigo, Vic, CB Sant Josep Girona, CB Canarias, Alicante and Tizona de Burgos. He would return to the top category as a base for Club Joventut de Badalona and CAB Obradoiro, before concluding his time at his home: B\u00e0squet Girona. Thus, ascending to the ACB, he closes the circle where it all began after making his debut in an elite Girona team.<\/p>\n<p>Albert S\u00e0bat is no longer a player and captain of the first team after 97 appearances, a promotion to LEB Or,&nbsp; 2 MVPs of the Catalan League LEB Or, 2 Catalan Leagues LEB Or and a historic promotion to the ACB.  &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>S\u00e0bat will continue to be linked to the club, joining the technical organization chart of the B\u00e0squet Girona first team. Next season, the season of his debut in the elite, the club will pay tribute to him at the Fontajau pavilion.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span><strong>STATEMENTS OF ALBERT S\u00c1B\u00c1T:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span>&#8220;First I want to thank the club that allowed me to come here in 2019 and finish my career at home, with my people and my city.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I also want to thank them for allowing me to decide when to retire and I think now is the best time after what we have achieved.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I&#8217;m really excited, I&#8217;m really looking forward to starting this career and doing it here at home makes me even more excited with a coach like A\u00edto from whom I will learn a lot.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span><em>The Llagosteren player, who becomes part of the technical team of the first team, retires after twenty seasons as a professional<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5478,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categoria_noticia":[],"class_list":["post-23555","noticia","type-noticia","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.0 -
