As confirmed by beIN Sports last night, there will be a Spanish pivot in the workforce of HBC Nantes next year. But it will not be Adria Figueras. The defector of last summer, who had only signed up with the H for one season, will not extend his stay on the banks of the Erdre, despite convincing performances.
On the other hand, he will be replaced by one of his compatriots, present just like him in Egypt at the moment to compete in the world championship with La Roja. Ruben Marchan Raised, 26, will have his first experience abroad, after having experienced his first major competition with his national team, and it is not necessarily a surprise that he chose Nantes to do so. It must be said that the H has participated in the outbreak of many future Spaniards, and he could be next on the list. Its 2m04 and 115 kilos make it a sacred pivot of position, complementary to Dragan Pechmalbec and Théo Monar, called to take the lead in the workforce next season. And ball in hand, he is not the most awkward, as we could also see during the first outings of the Spanish team in the world championship.
In Nantes, he could discover the Champions League, a competition in which he has never participated with his club Ademar Leon, where he has been playing for two seasons, after wearing the colors of Cuenca and Benidorm. The European games, he has nevertheless already tasted, including the EHF Cup, where it does some damage this season, turning to five goals per game in the group stage of the competition. Suggesting that Alberto Entrerrios, by choosing the Castilian to strengthen his pivotal position, probably still had a fine nose.
