Basketball, tomorrow the Sassari will visit the Dolomiti Energia Trento Coach Piero Bucchi: «The war in Ukraine? It’s a shock for everyone “
SASSARI. “Three matches are coming in eight days, but we have prepared well and above all we have a great desire to return to the field”. Piero Bucchi focuses on a very important triptych for his Dinamo, which tomorrow afternoon at 7pm will visit the Dolomiti Energia Trento after a very long stop.
«We will face a very physical team with a lot of talent in all the players – says the coach biancoblù -. We are convinced that it will be a complicated race, but we are also aware that we have had a good week of work. We slowly put the pieces back together, because some of us were busy with the national teams. I came back on Wednesday, since Thursday we got Kruslin and Treier back and I saw a good intensity in the gym. We really want to play, apart from the match against Milan in the Final Eight, in which we were not at our best, we have not played in the league since January 30th. The goal is to find the condition we had reached before Covid as soon as possible “.
One of the duels that will characterize tomorrow’s challenge will be the one between the play teams, with Gerald Robinson on Sassari’s side and Diego Flaccadori on the other side. «Flaccadori has become a player of great personality – points out Bucchi – you can see that he has played abroad, he has acquired an important mentality as almost always happens to those who gain experience outside. I am thinking for example of Polonara and Melli. When you are out of your habits you have to tie your shoes, play well so as not to stay on the sidelines. And now he is a really solid element ».
The Bolognese technician then spoke of the satisfaction with the renewal of the contract with Dinamo (“I was surprised and delighted by this opportunity, I thank the president and the club. For me it was really love at first sight”) and the air that shoots in the locker room about what is happening in Ukraine. «We lead a normal life but every time we turn on the TV we have death in our hearts. What you hear on the news is absurd, in the national team we wore a rosette to give a very small signal of solidarity. The boys are all in all peaceful, their families are safe so they don’t have a direct concern. But the whole world is in apprehension. It was wonderful to see the result of the mobilization of the Dinamo Foundation, with the collection of goods to be sent to war zones. I congratulate them on everything they do ».
