Pesaro says goodbye to A basketball: ‘Determined to return as soon as possible’
Pesaro relegated
Pesaro relegated but tries to look to the future with optimism. "È the most bitter ending, the evening of disappointment and many reasons for regret. But we want a message of confidence and a great desire to start again to emerge immediately from here. We are a city that lives on basketball, we love this sport and we are proud of it: the passion that has infected our community has also passed on to us a deep culture, which urges us to respect the bitter verdict of the parquet and accept it with dignity," writes the red and white leadership.
"We kept hope alive until the last day, we did not let go even in the most difficult moments, we tried to recover with all possible efforts, we left no stone unturned, even beyond our possibilities, but unfortunately we did not manage to achieve the goal of salvation. This è the law of sports, which always presents two sides of the same coin".
"On the one hand, the joys that gave us the victory with Milan in the playoffs last season, the reaching of the playoffs two seasons ago, the final of the Italian Cup in 2021, like the previous salvations greeted by the’entire world of Italian basketball on a par with the tricolor triumphs of the past because’they were achieved in truly unfavorable conditions and against all odds. On the’other hand, the sorrow of relegation that saddens and disappoints us but does not make us live a drama because’in us è ingrained in us a deep sports ethic".
"This cityè è sportingly mature and cultured becauseé it has lived through triumphs and relegations, such as that of 1974, with the return to the big leagues in 1978; or that of 1998, with the’acquisition of the rights to Gorizia in 1999. It lived through the bankruptcy of 2005 and è restarted from Serie B, returning in 2007 to Serie A1, a category that we have been able to defend for 16 consecutive years, years in which almost many historical Clubs of’Italy have had to live through a painful moment like our current".
"We believe above all else in the social values of our sport, which knows how to give us mixed emotions but which nonetheless, and before any result, allows our communityà to unite around a strong identity, to which we feel we belong both in victories and in the most painful defeats. Last examples of all this; the dozens of children who came down to the court for a photo together with the players immediately after the victory with Cremona, despite the fact that the other results were not in our favor. Or the passion of our fans who continue to sing and color our stands, time and time again. Fans who push us to honor the history and tradition of this Società to the best of our ability. Or again, the sweat and efforts of the boys in the youth sector who work hard every day to grow so much on and off the parquet, achieving excellent results. The hearts of these young people of ours and their families are our future, they are the reason that already drives everyone now to the maximum effort to relaunch us right away".
"The’affection and pride of our fans and the entire city, the support of the Pesaro Basket Consortium and all Sponsors will be the basis for building a strong and renewed project. Behind every difficulty’are also hidden opportunities’that we cannot and do not want to miss, driven by the determination to rise as soon as possible to A1 and return to enjoy, all together, great satisfactions’
