“Premier is to the NBA as Serie A football is to basketball”, Petrucci’s reply

In recent days, Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri launched a comparison between the Premier League and Serie A football, also including NBA and Serie A basketball: “President Dal Pino spoke about the Premier League: I would avoid this speech, because the their executives bring in 5 billion euros. Those chosen by Dal Pino less than a fifth. In England they are given the opportunity to put together roses of another level. It seems to me a comparison that cannot be proposed for Serie A: I would let it go, it would be like comparing the NBA to the very respectable national basketball championship ”.

In Corriere della Sera the comment of the FIP President, Gianni Petrucci: “Elegant irony, he wanted to amaze and he succeeded. We are not the NBA, but I am happy to celebrate 100 years of the FIP as President. And then returning to the Olympics beating Serbia in Belgrade was exceptional ”. Petrucci then spoke of Valentina Vezzali and the push for 100% capacity: “He puts effort and good will into it, we hope for important measures”
