Mauro Ferrari
In view of the last match of the championship against Brindisi, the CEO of Germani Brescia Mauro Ferrari spoke about the transfer market: “As the Coach has already said, let’s start by trying to win the match against Brindisi, then talking about the market, if you think about it for a moment, I think it’s harmful, dangerous and disrespectful given that we are the only team in the LBA which has had the same players since the beginning of the season and these players will take on the responsibility for the playoffs and will eventually get the satisfaction they deserve because they have been together since August 20th. I congratulate the staff, starting with the physiotherapists, then the doctors , to Marco Patuelli and the whole office, and the Coach because we had an extraordinary championship in my opinion. The thought that someone might have thought we could have brought in a new playernot so much from the point of view of the economic impact on the club because we don’t throw the money away, but you can also understand that a few tokens for the playoffs don’t change the balance sheet of Pallacanestro Brescia, fortunately this year, but it would have been ungrateful towards those guys who have been working since the beginning of the year and have deserved the playoffs and now it is right that they play their minutes based on the Coach’s choices. I have been reading in recent days and I have noticed a hint of desolation regarding the loss of first place, there are two points of view to interpret Germani’s position today. An extraordinary point of view because we end up behind Milan and Bologna, two teams that have a very important and deep organisation, Euroleague teams and without talking about budget because there is no need. After months at the top of the table, we are now in the position we rightly deserve and have earned. I confide to you that at the beginning of the championship I predicted to some sponsor friends, by pure luck, that we would finish third. The less happy part will say that we threw away some matches (Sassari and Cremona), that we could have finished in the top, that the players without the trophy work for 3 hours a day and that they could have put in more effort but this is the second hypothesis of those who he is not happy. I am not part of this group of people, and I reiterate my compliments to the coach and all the staff for the work done by the club. We had a championship that will remain in the history of Brescia Basketball. Another championship begins next Monday, a new story, let’s not underestimate the team we will meet and if I have to be honest, but for this year’s sporting championship it is from Pistoia and congratulates the whole club and the team, and we I also include Cremona because in my opinion they are the teams that have achieved the best results. Congratulations to both companies. We have a duty to believe in it completely because we have a group of fantastic people and if we can manage the quality we have with humility in preparation and attention to detail I’m sure we will have fun. The important thing is that the boys realize their qualities and their strengths to ensure that they can start these playoffs in the best possible way because the undersigned has a lot of faith in this team and this staff. I wanted to be here to put a stop to the transfer rumors and out of the utmost respect I have for these guys.”
