Blue calendar and Banchero issue: Gianmarco Pozzecco goes down flat

Gianmarco Pozzecco goes down flat

Gianmarco Pozzecco, with ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport,’ spoke among other things about the international calendar, conditioned by the contemporaneities with Euroleague and NBA, and the issue related to the possible convocation of Paolo Banchero.

“Calendar? The first thing to ccomprehend is that it needs to change – began the ‘Poz’ – Instead, no one does anything. It must no longer happen that players are forced to choose between Azzurro and club. It cannot exist for the principles of sport that the national team is precluded. Let me have windows or doors, they don’t. This generation has a bond with the national team that we did not have as deep. Melli and Datome told me that right away. You can feel it in your skin. They look good in the Azzurro.”

Pozzecco also spoke about the Banchero issue, still unresolved despite a December visit to Orlando: “It’s okay to dream but I have the responsibility with respect to who is there, to Melli, Fontecchio, Spissu, Polonara and all the others. The day that comes will have to find what I have prepared in the meantime.”
