Ferrari: “We are making concrete efforts to keep the backbone”

Della Valle «armored», barring unforeseen circumstances. Cobbins e Gabriel two of the first players from whom you are trying to restart (read: negotiations in progress). In general, the economic effort made will not be trivialalso in light of the possible new experience in Eurocup, for which the process began between reporting (by the League) and invitation (by the European competition) which opened the evaluation front within the biancoblù club .

The curtain has fallen on splendid vintage of the Germani, but it is already time for the future. Yesterday evening the last episode of the Basketball Time season was broadcast on Teletutto. In Jacopo Bianchi’s studio there was a “parterre de rois” of super-guests: the managing director of Germani Spa Mauro Ferrari, the general manager Marco De Benedetto and coach Alessandro Magro.

During the episode, there was no lack of opportunity to retrace the stages of the journey. «The Pallacanestro Brescia project – said Ferrari – was born in 2020, but also due to the vicissitudes linked to the pandemic, it really came to life about twelve months ago. Find the affection from the fans and making families happy and, in general, our city is certainly the most important result. A result that fills us with pride. From the point of view of sporting results, I would like to say that we were more fortunate than good. To be good we will need to be able to confirm ourselves on the same levels in the future. Offering our people participation in the top national championship is and remains our first goal ».

Marco De Benedetto remarked: «We are started with an open construction site, full of expectations and desires. After a start in which we suffered a bit from performance anxiety we were good and lucky, reaching our goals ». Coach Magro is convinced: «We were bold in believing in our design vision. After a difficult start we managed to get results thanks to a great sharing on a technical level, also made up of bets. Among these, the idea of ​​building the team around Amedeo Della Valle ».

Perspectives

More than budgets, however, the hot topic is the future. And in the “control room” we are already working hard. What will happen next season? What Germans will we see? Mauro Ferrari has clear ideas. “We have the opportunity to participate in a European competition. Together with our staff we will carefully evaluate, but without obsessions, this opportunity. Of the valley? He is a player under contract with Pallacanestro Brescia. If there were any requests from Euroleague clubs we could sit down at a table and talk about it, but today Amedeo is armored ».

Staying on the market theme, there would be for Ferrari and his team willingness to start from the hard core of the season just ended. The club’s economic picture is solid. «Today – said Ferrari – the company confirms the amounts with relative increases already foreseen. In addition to this, in light of the extraordinary season, an award was made available. All this, in order to maintain the backbone of the team, could be enough as not enough ». Basically: to keep the key players, Brescia does not hold back, and is indeed ready to invest more, but without going crazy. If this is not enough, reasoning for alternative plans is already in place. And Germani will go on the market to «have players able to give us the emotions that the recently archived group of the season has been able to give us, also next season. We are making significant efforts to retain what can be held ». Specifically, the two towers Cobbins and Gabriel should have space in the framework of the team that will come. De Benedetto confirmed “the open negotiations, with both”. Instead, more patience will be needed to understand what Moss’ future will be. “He himself knows that in the order of things his time will come.”
