Lebrón and Momo González will only play one tournament together
After the scandal: Lebrón speaks
Lebrón: What happened is not acceptable and will not happen again.
After the scandal at the Qatar Major 2024 and the surprising breakup with Ale Galán, Juan Lebrón break his silence in a video interview with the Spanish sports newspaper Marca.
Here, he says that the new partnership with Momo González is not permanent and only concerns the Premier Padel P2 in Venezuela, which takes place from 25 to March 31.
In the interview with Marca, Juan Lebrón commented on the choice of Momo González as his partner for the first P2 of the season:
"I want to play with Momo in Venezuela because that's how it turned out. He's a great person and a great player.
Lebrón expresses great regret about what happened at the Qatar Major 2024. During the game, there was an incident where Juan Lebron, in anger, threw a ball at Mike Yanguas, and the ball almost hit him in the head.
I want to apologize…
"What happened does not reflect who I am as a person or professional. I want to apologize to Alejandro Galán, Jorge Martínez, M3 Academy, my team, Premier Padel, FIP, and, of course, our opponents in the match. What happened is not OK, and it won't happen again.
Regarding the breakup with Ale Galán, Lebron revealed the details of how the conversation took place:
"When the game ended, we went to Madrid. At the airport, I apologized to Ale and asked if we could talk. At that moment, we gave each other some space. On Thursday, I asked him to talk on Friday. But the same day, he called me and told me that he did not want to continue with me".
"The news surprised me. But it's his decision, and I respect it. I don't know if it's fair or unfair; it's just something very personal, and I have to accept it ."
Lebron and Galán will play their last tournament together in the next P1 in Mexico from March 8 to 24. For Venezuela's P2, Ale Galán has chosen Federico Chingotto as his new partner, while Lebron is playing with Momo González.
