Joe Mazzulla, head coach of the NBA's Boston Celtics, visited the Bernabéu stadium and Ciudad Real Madrid. Mazzulla toured the facilities at Ciudad Real Madrid and was welcomed at the pavilion by Rudy Fernández, who presented him with a jersey bearing his name and the number 1. Later, he visited the Bernabéu, where he took a tour of the stadium and spoke to Realmadrid TV: “The stadium is beautiful, I’m impressed by its size and elegance. I love its history. They have achieved so much success, championships, and trophies. This is my second time here. I was here two years ago when it was under construction, and it’s nice to see the before and after.”
“Many great coaches and players in both sports have come through here, achieving success on the pitch and on the court. Being with Rudy and the people here allows you to learn from the success of other clubs. These are excellent facilities. I love being here to learn about different cultures, environments, and clubs that have been successful.”
On Hugo González's origins
“It’s very special to be here and see how Hugo González grew professionally, how important Real Madrid is to him, and to understand this relationship. It has been phenomenal for us to have him, not just as a player, but also as a teammate. He made us better. It’s important to know where he came from and what matters to him. He has been fantastic for us.”
