Danilo Gallinari no-holds-barred on Gianmarco Pozzecco

“You have to work hard, with attention and concentration, to learn the new dictates.”

After seven days of training camp in Pinzolo, a chance for coach Gianmarco Pozzecco to start shaping his creature ahead of Eurobasket 2022 and the subsequent 2023 World Cup qualifying competitions, it’s time for balance sheets. If only partial ones. Awaiting the verdict of the court – already on August 12 Italy will be engaged in a friendly match against France, Danilo Gallinari granted an interview to Sky Sport.

“There is a lot of enthusiasm. Right now we are working a lot. As there is little time to prepare for this kind of competition, we have to work intensively, with attention and concentration, to learn the new dictates,” the ‘Rooster’ began.

“Pozzecco? The coach has just arrived, so we have to try to assimilate what his ideas are as soon as possible, but he is doing very well. Pozzecco has a great ability to understand basketball, and he manages to make us understand his concepts and ideas well,” he concluded.
