Ramagli: "De Raffaele a brother, nice shot by Cantù: he will bring so much"

Alessandro Ramagli, coach of Gruppo Mascio Bergamo, is more than a friend of Acqua S.Bernardo’s new coach Walter De Raffaele. “He is a brother to me” he began at the end of Monza’s victorious game with Tezenis Verona.

“For me it would have been easier not to come to Bergamo, and still wait,” he adds. “For Walter it would have been easier not to go to Cantù and still wait. He is a coach who can also aspire to work abroad, at a high level. But a coach, as my friend Alessandro Frosini says, wants to … coach. And so he also accepts challenges that are a bit borderline, the challenges that maybe not everyone would take. So I’m not very surprised that Walter went to coach a team that right now is at the bottom of the standings“.

“In Cantù Walter can bring organization, attention to detail, humanity, care for people. And I think that in such a difficult moment like the one the Brianza team is going through, having a person who knows how to put so much of basketball inside, but above all knows how to put so much from the human point of view, could represent that quid that could allow a team in difficulty to switch. And that could allow it to have a different championship, with less pressure on it, perhaps winning some unexpected games” continues the seasoned Labronico coach.

“I wish him more than just ‘good luck,’ for that matter I have already done it to him in these days when we have been in touch. In summary if Walter could wait for Cantù it was really a good blow” Ramagli concludes.
