REGGIO EMILIA – Tomorrow at the PalaBigi is scheduled Reggiana-GeVi Napoli Basketball. Tap-off at 6.15pm. A special match for the Reggio Emilia player Alessandro Dalla Saldaformer red and white manager and current CEO of the Neapolitan club.
“I don’t like making predictions – he begins – If Pallacanestro Reggiana and GeVi Napoli go to the playoffs, they will be uncomfortable opponents that few will want to face”. Dalla Salda therefore does not go unbalanced, but a small hope emerges in his heart. That of reaching the championship playoffs. For his favorite team, which saw him as a protagonist for 24 years in his city, on the other for his present in Neapolitan soil where he celebrated, in his first year, winning the Italian Cup.
Between passion, affection and work there is the cold number, or hot depending on your point of view, of the final result of the match that awaits the two teams. Dalla Salda, already in the summer, had judged the red and white roster positively. “The staff set up, at least in consideration of the names and experience of the players, was top class – he continues – It is a team that has mixed players with sensational experience with some young people, one above all Faye, who I know very well and I believe he is one of the best players not in Reggio Emilia but in the entire championship.”
Protagonist of the scudetto finals, in the victories in the Eurochallenge in 2014 and the Italian Super Cup in 2016, Dalla Salda left the red and white in 2018 to return in 2020, contributing to the entry of Veronica Bartoli, Enrico Sampietro and Graziano Sassi into the team structure. It is the second time that the 55-year-old manager from Reggio Emilia presents himself as an opponent at the PalaBigi: the first was in 2019 when he held the role of CEO of Virtus Bologna, the second will be on Sunday. Will he be more or less excited than the first time? “I think this time, but we’ll see on Sunday. For various reasons he returned to Reggio with great satisfaction, also for having left Pallacanestro Reggiana in Serie A where he deserves to be. Plus, the happiness of having managed to do very well in such a complicated place like Naples.”
