The words of Achille Polonara

Achille Polonara gave a long interview to Tuttisport: “But it is the truth and it is visible. Pozzecco is a master at conveying enthusiasm, as well as being a detail-oriented coach. And you always find someone ready to take responsibility.”

“We have to start with confidence, awareness, without thinking that the round is easy. That would be a danger. Every game counts. But we know that when we play together we can challenge everyone. However, there is also curiosity to see the Philippines.”

After the World Cup, there will be a return to Italy: “Yes, I left when I was still young (smiles…). In the meantime, I became a father twice and this has contributed a lot to my maturation as a man and to my serenity. I accepted the challenge of going abroad, which I always recommend, because you go to places where, as it happens with foreigners in our country, you are no longer pampered.”

“It’s true, Virtus had already looked for me, I talked to coach Scariolo. And now an opportunity has arisen to come to this great club. The goal is to help Virtus do well also in the Euroleague, which is a great stage.”
