Today’s match sees the return of Alessandro Dalla Salda to the PalaBigi. “Returning to Via Guasco is always an incredible emotion, both when it is empty like now (as he speaks he is attending Gevi’s afternoon training session, ed.) and when it is packed with its wonderful audience. Here I was able to take part in evenings of happiness, victories and some bitterness”. The manager from Reggio Emilia, currently playing for the Neapolitans, does not expect a particular welcome: “I’m not a player or a former coach – he underlines – but I will certainly be very pleased to see and say hello to so many friends”. From a technical point of view he hopes for “another heart-pounding match, for the entertainment of the public. The two previous matches were beautiful and very close, I would like this one to be the same”. The objectives of the two teams are common, the hunt for the playoffs: “However, Reggio could access it even by losing both to us and to the next team, Napoli on the other hand could stay out even if they won both. So we must not give up even for a second, play with malice and toughness It’s the only way to get out with 2 points.”
In addition to the basketball match, Dalla Salda yesterday talked about his red and white militancy for the benefit of the film that director Massimiliano Finazzer Flory is shooting for the 50th anniversary of Pallacanestro Reggiana. “Beautiful initiative for which the owners and management deserve congratulations.” Piero Montecchi was also interviewed yesterday in Piazza Prampolini.
