Ethe national basketball coach, Sergio Scariolo, was the protagonist on his birthday on Radio MARCA. The current coach of Virtus Bologna analyzed together with Vicente Ortega and Carlos Santos the news of the world of the basket.
Season at Virtus Bologna: “We’re happy, we’re first in the league ahead of a great team like Milan, in the Eurocup we’ve lost a game that we shouldn’t have, but we have had an impressive run of injuries and we have never been anywhere near complete and that has taken its toll on us. The Playoff has a casual formula, we will play many games away from home and we will face whatever comes.”
Shengelia: “Toko has left to be well physically, mentally I see him well, at Easter to see his family. I see him very integrated in the team”.
If Juancho has minutes, there is no better place than the NBA for him
Losses in the base position: “It is the position in which we have a lot of need to replace players, also inside with the withdrawal of Marc and Pau, but it is true that the base position is very important and very delicate and we will have to make an effort of imagination and we will have to invert something that is not very typical And we’re on it.”
The role of Juancho Hernangmez: “If Juancho has minutes like he has in the last month, better than the NBA he will not find anything. Another thing is that those minutes do not find them or do not deserve them. It will depend on the offer they can make for next year. It is very interesting for him and for us that they kept the minutes after Bogdanovic’s return.”
Russia-Ukraine conflict: “There are economic interests, there are ways of seeing things… people much more prepared than us have tried to give explanations, so we listen to those who know, we make up our minds on a personal level. Any instrument of dialogue has to come long before a conflict and we have to hope that they can find a truce and a way out”.
I was delighted to see the reaction of sports maturity that there has been in Italy after being left out of the World Cup
Italy, out of the World Cup: “It was not a pleasure to stay out of the World Cup, I feel bad for Mancini, with whom I am personally linked, but incredibly there has been an almost unanimous reaction of appreciation towards the selector’s work since he had to continue after a hard stick. I was delighted to see a reaction of sports maturity regarding the typical thing that follows a bad result and asking for a coach’s head”.
