TvB, are you counting on the positives to face Milan «Sokolowski? Better if you go back to Manresa “

Today the results of the swabs: there are already 4 players infected Iacopini, as agent: “Too many differences in the rosters”

TREVISO

This morning the outcome of the round of molecular swabs carried out yesterday on Treviso Basket will arrive: if the four positive players (one is Sims, and to add there are also two of the staff) others will be added, tomorrow’s match against Milan at 99% will be postponed. Same goes for the Champions League one in Manresa on Tuesday (the following one will be in Istanbul against Darüssafaka): the European regulation provides that it is possible to play with a minimum of eight members included in the playing list at the time.

But how do you live this Covid situation from the outside, which is becoming more and more tangled with each passing day? “I don’t see competitive fairness, it’s hard to think of taking the field with half of the roster out and with a group of kids – exclaims Massimo Iacopini, a great former Benetton and now a prosecutor – here, maybe Nutribullet against Armani, the ‘strongest opponent ever, he could play the “wild card”, as had happened in the Super Cup, even if there the reasons were different ».

With four absent you play and with three no: clarity would be needed. “It is a question linked to the indications of the regional ASL: each region reacts differently to an outbreak, there is no single national regulation that applies to everyone, everyone adapts according to needs”.

How do you live this precariousness as a player’s agent? «Fortunately, unlike some of my colleagues, I don’t represent, in Italy and also in foreign agencies I work with, no vax players. There have been some cases, Cantù, Forlì, especially in A2 they are found. Getting vaccinated or not is a personal choice of conscience but I honestly have no desire to discuss with a no vax: the vaccine does not ward off the virus but it certainly protects you enough. Those who decide not to get vaccinated should also take their responsibilities, but here the discussion would expand too much “.

“Iaco”: can this championship go on like this? «It goes on in bits and pieces, unfortunately it is a situation common to everyone, not only in Italy. It is necessary to hold firm and make a group as much as possible even among companies, to be available to those who have these problems, solidarity is fundamental. Understanding that we are all in the same boat is not much of a concept understood in Italy; it is inevitable that this also happens in basketball, where for years he has lived under the banner of “mors tua vita mea”. Instead it is a common good that must be protected. From everyone. Ours is a small and large company that gives a living to many families, but too many still look only to their own backyard ».

You are Michal Sokolowski’s attorney: how are you? “In my opinion, Sunday is not exactly the most suitable match to get him back: I don’t want to lose the match against Milan at the start but for Treviso Basket it is not fundamental, Armani has such a long roster that it can tackle such a problem. with a certain serenity. Sokolowski naturally paws and wants to play but I wouldn’t risk it. If anything, I would see him better on Tuesday in the Champions League in Manresa ». –
