The adversity will very quickly go up a notch for Italy, from the start of this EuroBasket with Estonia to start on Friday evening, then Greece the next day. Even if they will evolve at home, in Milan, the Italians know that the task promises to be very difficult against the Greeks who have shown their quality on their last outings.

To avoid any depression, the latter indicated his method to counter the “Greek Freak”: don’t think about it!
“He’s a fascinating player. But I have several problems. Already, we had little time to work and I believe that if I watched his videos, I would fall into depression”, he indicatedwhile he will also have to do without Danilo Gallinari to try to contain Giannis Antetokounmpo.
For Gianmarco Pozzecco, Giannis Antetokounmpo is downright inhuman.
“Fortunately, there will also be more human players. On the other hand, it will give us a lot of motivation to face him. It’s something that energizes you. He’s a very competitive European, it’s clearly not good for us but it’s good for basketball.”he added.
See you Saturday from 9:00 p.m. to see if the ostrich policy with Pozzecco sauce will bear fruit.
