Ettore Messina, Bargnani does not forget

The words of Andrea Bargnani

Andrea Bargnani spoke with Gianluca Gazzoli at "Pass by BSMT".

"Ettore Messina? He’ tough as nails. When you are young, you are really the target. Then he the more he cares, the more he slaughters you. So è a sign of love, in quotes, that è it’s hard to understand, forò over the years I’ve also seen so many who didn’t make it. Forò we still talk to each other now, there’è a great affection.È one of the people to whom I still owe the path I have taken. Him, my athletic trainer, Cuzzolin. There are two, three people I really trusted completely. I would have done anything. If they told me to jump off the bridge, I would jump and I followed them in everything".

"Did I expect what he did in the NBA? Honestly sì, I would have said even more. He should have been head coach as well. Knowing the world on both sides, knowing all the players firsthand, having been able to know them… hands down. Not è that è only meritocracy".
