Gerard Piquet has found a comparison in the history of the sport to what happened with the Spanish team.

On the eve of the Spanish team experienced not the most pleasant episode. Head coach Khulen Lopetega was dismissed from his post for signing a contract with Real Madrid, and in his place came Fernando Hierro.

This incident was commented on by Gerard Piquet in his Twitter.

"University of Michigan. Basketball. 1989. Champions of the March madness in NSAA. This will not be the first time. We all have teamed up more than ever ".

Universidad de Michigan. Baloncesto. 1989. Campeon de la NCAA. No seria la primera vez que ocurre.

Todos unidos, ahora mas que nunca.

Piquet mentioned a story from college basketball in the US, when in 1989 the head coach of the University of Michigan Bill Frider before the start of the playoff championship announced that next season he will lead Arizona. The university leadership did not approve this step and immediately dismissed the mentor, appointing Steve Fisher, who managed to lead the team to the title.
