The words of Gianmarco Pozzecco

"Lay into me, say I lose games, say I’m crazy but leave my players alone".

Soì Gianmarco Pozzecco è vented after Italbasket's victory over the Philippines that è earned passage to the second phase of the World Cup underway in the Philippines. "Don&#39t touch my staff: if they hadn&#39t been there, I would have jumped down already from the 37th floor, one of them lived close to me because heé checked me to make sure I didn&#39t screw up. This is how I am; and I will never change".

And again, on Petrucci: "Don’t touch my federal president, who said the right thing and who in these days treated me like a son, he saw the suffering of a man. I dedicate this victory to him. My boys are sensational: it was a complicated round and we are in the pre-Olympic, they won 11 out of 12 games. We raised the bar".

"I adore my players,” Pozzecco concluded, “but sometimes I make mistakes with them. Tonut had a sensational game and I got angry with him, I have to apologize to him".
