El pívot del Barça, Willy Hernangómez, se ha sincerado como nunca en una extensa entrevista en La Bombilla, el podcast de Miguel Sánchez, conocido en redes como Pablo Lolaso. A las puertas del Eurobasket, donde ejercerá como capitán de la selección española, el madrileño repasó su trayectoria reciente y desveló lo difícil que resultó para él su última temporada en el conjunto azulgrana.
Hernangómez reconoce que en el pasado curso llegó a desconectarse del deporte que le ha acompañado toda su vida: “Tuve un momento complicado de perder el amor y la pasión por el baloncesto esta última temporada. No me sentía feliz ni a gusto con lo que estaba haciendo. Iba a entrenar porque era lo que tocaba, intentaba encontrar la manera, pero llega un momento en el que tú solo no puedes ni sabes”.
Este último año, hubo cosas peores en el Barça que no salieron a la luz
El internacional español explicó que decidió acudir a terapia para gestionar la situación, un paso que considera clave en su recuperación emocional: “Hablé con mi familia y gente cercana para buscar ayuda y empezar a trabajar las emociones y la salud mental. Me ha venido muy bien, he vuelto a conectar mi cabeza, saber lo que quieres y lo que no”.
El pívot también habló de las críticas que suele recibir, especialmente en lo referente a su faceta defensiva. “Acepto todas las críticas y me resbalan la mitad. Solo me importan de la gente que sabe, como el entrenador, el cuerpo técnico, mis compañeros o mi familia. El resto no han tenido mi carrera y no tienen ni idea”, asegura.
Asimismo, señala que en ocasiones el ambiente en el vestuario blaugrana ha sido tenso, incluso más que en episodios conocidos públicamente. “Este último año hubo cosas peores que no salieron a la luz“, indica.
La vuelta de Willy Hernangómez a España
El madrileño repasó también su decisión de volver a Europa en 2023, cuando eligió la propuesta del Barça pese a recibir ofertas de otros clubes, incluido el Real Madrid, su club de formación.
“Me hubiera gustado que las cosas hubieran salido diferentes con el Madrid, pero la oferta que me hicieron era como si no hubiera. En la NBA entendí que esto es trabajo, y yo quería jugar, sentirme importante. El Barça apostó por mí, Barcelona es una ciudad increíble”, afirma.

2025 Week 7 NFL score predictions, bets, odds, picks today: Expert reveals exact scores for all 15 matchups
Through six weeks of the NFL season, it's hard to find a team who doesn't have a serious question mark. Two weeks ago, we would've been raving about the undefeated Eagles and Bills. Now both teams have lost two straight games. How about Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, one of the preseason favorites? With Jackson having been out each of the last two weeks, Baltimore enters its bye week 1-5 and is in serious danger of missing the postseason. Even the three-time defending AFC champion Chiefs aren't immune. They sit 3-3 heading into a Week 7 home date with AFC rival Las Vegas, though Kansas City is the largest favorite of the week at -11.5.Which teams would you take today to make the Super Bowl? Before the contenders start to separate from the pretenders, unpredictability in the NFL will continue […]
NFL pass-rusher rankings ahead of Week 7
Aidan Hutchinson reclaims his No. 1 ranking: After a slow start to the season by his standards (two pressures), Hutchinson has been the league’s most productive pass rusher, generating 34 pressures and six sacks over the past five games. Warren Brinson impressed in his NFL debut: The Packers rookie logged an 80.6 PFF pass-rushing grade, the top mark among rookies, after generating two pressures and a 23.5% win rate in Green Bay's victory over the Bengals. Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes We know that quarterback is the most important position on the field, but a great pass rush is the ultimate equalizer. Pressure disrupts timing, rhythm and accuracy, something only the elite quarterbacks can consistently overcome. Last season, 13 of the top 15 teams in PFF pass-rush grade had a winning record. In 2023, 15 of the top 16 teams […]
