CB Gran Canaria is undergoing a transformation under the guidance of Néstor 'Che' García, who, just days after his arrival, has introduced tactical innovations and strengthened Nico Brussino's leadership to face the final stretch of the season.

The arrival of Néstor 'Che' García to the Dreamland Gran Canaria bench has injected a new spirit into the squad, which is fighting for permanence in the Liga ACB after a series of defeats. Although his time at the helm has been brief, the Argentine coach has already begun to implement significant changes, visible in the team's attitude during their recent match against Baskonia at the Fernando Buesa Arena.
Since his landing on the Island last Thursday, García has made key decisions to modify aspects of the game. Initially, he planned to observe training sessions, but quickly decided to get fully involved, leading sessions from Friday, even before his official presentation and the trip to Vitoria.
One of the pillars of his strategy is to empower Nico Brussino. Given his previous experience with García in the Argentine national team, the coach wants the forward to take on a more vocal and prominent role. Brussino, with his history at the club, being the player with the most three-pointers scored and excelling in valuation and assists, is considered fundamental for the team.
Training sessions at the Gran Canaria Arena under García's direction have been characterized by a strong theoretical and tactical load. The coach has introduced defensive adjustments, such as direct block defense, and new offensive systems that will be consolidated in the coming days, especially in the two home games. Additionally, he has requested the installation of televisions in hotels during trips for pre-game video sessions, a new practice for the team.
The atmosphere in the Arena has significantly improved, with players showing a more relaxed and united attitude. García's discourse, focused on unity and commitment, has resonated with the group. The club, for its part, is mobilizing fans to turn the Gran Canaria Arena into a "cauldron" in the upcoming decisive matches, starting with this Saturday's game against Casademont Zaragoza, offering free tickets to season ticket holders to encourage attendance and support for the team in its fight for permanence.
