(ANSA) - MILAN, 01 SEPT - At the European Championship "there are many national teams with competitive rosters and they will have the possibility of reaching the bottom. We do not worry about all this and we will face the European championship match by match".
This was stated by the team of the Italian national team, Gianmarco Pozzecco, on the sidelines of the inauguration of the 'Fan Zone' set up in Piazza Duomo in Milan in view of the European basketball championships.
Responding to those who asked what the team's expectations are, Pozzecco stressed that "competitions happen because if we knew the result first, it wouldn't make sense to play them".
To the players "the only thing I asked - he concluded - is to live basketball with great passion. If you don't do it and there are children who look at you, then stop playing".
