Simone Fontecchio – Photo “Fiba.basketball”Simone Fontecchio gave an interview to ‘The Gazzetta dello Sport’. The small blue forward will play in the NBA at the Utah Jazz reaching both Danilo Gallinari and Paolo Banchero in the top basketball competition. This is his comment: “It is fascinating. Difficult to explain in words. It is something far from perception, almost shocking. The option to exit the contract with Vitoria expired on July 15th, the final offer from Jazz arrived on the morning of 15th. I’m very excited. I had not lost hope, on the contrary I was happy to stay in Vitoria, a perfect place to grow. I said to myself: ‘It will be for next year’. Then the nice surprise, which upset me. It is the ideal situation I was looking for. I am overjoyed. I think I can stay there. I will have to be solid in defense, dangerous at archery. Of course, there is a wealth of options to expand and refine to demonstrate that we can stay at that level “.
National Chapter: “The European will be stimulating. I feel like there are a lot of expectations after last summer, on our part first and foremost. I am happy to be back in a super, united group where we feel good together. Pozzecco? He got into the role perfectly with his positive, energetic way of being. He is ideal for that role, in the national team it also takes a bit of ‘lightness’ “.
