Italy-France, Giacomo Galanda highlights what can make a difference

Galanda extols the mental toughness of the Azzurri

Former Olimpia Milano and Pallacanestro Varese player among others, Giacomo Galanda, interviewed by SuperNews, introduced the Eurobasket quarterfinal, which will see Gianmarco Pozzecco’s Italy engaged against France.

“I don’t see France as superior to us, and like other nations, it has not always been brilliant in this European, already suffering some defeats. Anyway, Italy depends and will depend a lot on 3-point shooting percentages. I am sure that we will be consistent in our approach today as well: when a realization fails, we will have the right mentality to keep trying, action after action. Certainly, repeating a game like the one against Serbia will not be so easy, but the attitude and mood on the court will always be the ones seen on Sunday. From a physical point of view, France is stronger, but from a mental point of view we are superior to our opponents: the psychological strength of the Azzurri, in the economy of the final result, will be crucial,” Galanda said, emphasizing the main qualities of the Azzurri.
