"I'm like the Germans, very square." Àlex Mumbrú, a former Catalan player who trained at Joventut Badalona and spent two spells at Real Madrid, is the current German national team coach, one of the sensations of the Eurobasket being held in Cyprus, Finland, Poland, and Latvia. The coach missed the team's first five games due to acute pancreatitis, but is now ready to take his place on the bench. The German team will play the round of 16 against Portugal this Saturday.
