He is considered a “sniper” for the Miami Heat: Simone Fontecchio! The specialty of the 30-year-old Italian, who has been wearing the Heat jersey in the North American professional basketball league NBA since this season, is undoubtedly his three-point shot. Accordingly, Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra also thinks highly of his new addition, who previously hunted for baskets successfully for the Utah Jazz and Detroit Pistons.
In a video interview with our sports editor Dirk Sing, Fontecchio talks, among other things, about his “new life” in Miami, his “unforgettable” season in the German Basketball Bundesliga for Alba Berlin (2020/21), the German national basketball team and of course about his great passion for football. He also reveals why his heart beats for Inter Milan and what the chances are for the Italian national team in the upcoming play-offs when it comes to qualifying for the World Cup.
