Simone Fontecchio sends a message to Gianmarco Pozzecco

Simone Fontecchio is already pumped up for the World Cup

Simone Fontecchio is nearing the end of his first season in the NBA, which has seen him gain more and more confidence within the rotations of the Utah Jazz, a team in the making that has given him relative but ever-growing space.

An experience that loads the 1995 class in no small way in view of this summer’s World Cup, as he himself confirmed in an interview with ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’: “I’m really happy to be able to be part of this National Team,” he said, “we have worked very well in the last two years building something important.

The message addressed to coach Gianmarco Pozzecco is positive: “The World Cup is a competition that I have never faced and I am looking forward to it,” said the Jazz basketball player. “The group is very solid, we know each other well and it is a pleasure for everyone to be together. We are doing well and it would be nice to bring something home.”

The head coach was also brought up on the Banchero issue: “I think coach Pozzecco and the Federation itself have done everything there is to convince him, now it’s just up to him, we’ll see what he decides.”
