World Cup, Italy now dreams of tripping Paolo Banchero
Banchero turned down blue jersey to play with Team USA
As fate would have it, it happened and, now, the wait è feverish. Italy, in the quarterfinals of the World Basketball Championship, will face Team USA. The match, scheduled for Tuesday (2 p.m. ball at 2:40 p.m.), è on paper, prohibitive for coach Pozzecco’s team but watch out for extra motivation.
In the ranks of Team USA, in fact, plays a certain Banchero, that is, the talented star who decided to snub the Azzurri jersey to play with the U.S. national team. A choice that did not è please any Italian basketball fan. Now, of course, the dream è to make Banchero regret the decision not to tie himself to the azzurri colors.
After losing to Lithuania, Coach Kerr è was clear: "I hope it serves as a lesson for us. Fortunately, it doesn't change our goal, which remains gold". Well, to get there, first Team USA will have to get rid of Poz's Italy eager to prove to the national team of stars, and in particular to the missing blue Banchero, that anything è possible when playing as a team. In short, Tuesday is a match not to be missed for anything in the world with Italy dreaming of tripping Team USA and the failed Italian Banchero.
