DINO MENEGHIN: “EVERYTHING WILL REFLECT ON THE YOUTH SECTOR”

The former Italian basketball player and current sports manager Dino Meneghin wanted to support all the Italian companies on the decision of the Draghi government to open the sports halls only on 25% of the capacity. “It’s another heavy brick on the shoulders of companies. Economically I don’t know how many will be able to resist, given the difficulties they were already going through – he told in front of the notebooks of La Verità -. The biggest problem is that everything affects the youth sector. Not having the fans in the stands complicates the life of the teams, who live off those proceeds “.

Collections of a certain level, which cannot be covered only by the investments of the sponsor. Speaking of which, the former basketball player said: “They are increasingly reluctant to invest, given the uncertainty. A negative vicious circle is taking place. We will have to defer to the decisions of virologists and scientists, but my big fear is that we cannot plan for the future “. Meneghin then commented onimportance of restarting, since signings and team building are not things that are done in a few weeks.

BASKETBALL, DINO MENEGHIN: “THE MOMENT IS DRAMATIC”

Basketball clubs face bankruptcy? Dino Meneghin reiterated that he did not personally know the situation of all the companies “But if the president of the Italian basketball federation, Giovanni Petrucci, and that of Lega Serie A, Umberto Gandini, raise such strong alarms, they certainly don’t do it because they are out of their minds: they have the numbers in hand. The moment is dramatic. A clear alarm signal that will have to be acknowledged by the upper echelons of the Government, which will soon have to intervene to avert any kind of bankruptcy.

But Meneghin, for his part, does not send them to say: The problem is that you make a different decision every two by three, in the Italian style. It is always half cooked, with much confusion of news. I repeat: basketball, and beyond, needs programming “. A program that must be drawn up as quickly as possible. Societies suffer, as does everything world of sport.
