The balance of the dg Favaro: “Top organization at Palaverde, elsewhere … We will become a flag for the territory”
/ TREVISO
Each activity includes periodic reports. Treviso Basket is no exception which, having concluded the preseason with an enviable balance (7-1 in official matches that becomes 9-1 with friendlies), counts on the excellent information collected so far and on the success not only competitive but also organizational of the Qualification Round of Bcl as a business card for the 2021-22 vintage. “A competition like the one we played and created this week has the same trappings as a Final Four in terms of organization, logistics, quality of the building, transport, hotel and much more – analyzes the general manager of the club, Giovanni Favaro – one thing in more than in the past it was to create the bubble, a further step to keep athletes and all the people involved under control, with the sanitation and management of the health of the subjects and spaces. It was a great effort for the club and I must commend the collaborators who have helped us in every area. The level of our commitment has risen and we were very pleased with the compliments also received from the Bcl Board ».
You have shown that Treviso is also back in Europe. «We have shown that we are ready to do as well as play, it is not a trivial aspect. There were other fields, I’m talking about the other three QR bubbles, where problems were recorded. Everything went smoothly with us. And to say that we have only existed for nine years as a club, so being able to organize and manage such an event in relation to the age of the club is a great sign of growth ».
In September you tested two big news, the new company logo and the new Nutribullet sponsorship: the public seems to be reacting well. «We started a restyling project a few months ago, with a homogeneous communication system. Hence the new brand and also the identification with the renewed playing field: for better or for worse, the logo may like it or not but we have added a precise identity. In addition, there has been the change of naming which for us is a source of pride: we play with the name of a product on the shirts that will enter the European market from October. The fact that De ‘Longhi wants to promote the Nutribullet brand through TvB is something very important for us, it means that we are also a good vector of image ».
From 5 October, the date of the home match with Vef Riga, we will talk about Europe again. «With the QR behind us we approach the Cups in a different way, we tested ourselves and we are ready. It will be a different logistical commitment, if we think about the travel needs and more, but we are equipped and the experience of the qualification bubble helps us. Now it’s about playing with personality, showing that Treviso is back ».
The fans and not only did not like the outcome of the Super Cup, that non-existent pause between the match with Minsk and the one with Milan. Could it have been done otherwise? «When it was decided to play the Super Cup, it became clear that the preseason would be very complicated for us, with many close matches. By calculating the various joints of the official commitments, we preferred to be ready for the QR, so start before the others with the qualifications and knowing that there would be that very short period of time between two races. We were aware of everything, we did everything possible ».
As a company, even thinking about the Consortium, what are your goals for the new season? «The growth of the club has never stopped in nine years and this is a good business card. We have had enormous difficulties recently due to the pandemic, see the very small ticket office. However, we are strengthening, the group of consortium companies and sponsors has confirmed and even increased its commitment. Participating in a European competition then expands the basin, brings many positive factors in communication and beyond. We can become a flag for the whole sporting and economic territory of the province of Treviso and for its realities, a beautiful prospect thinking back to where and how we started ». –
