Continue building a Varese Women’s Basketball has a top-level roster that snatches the powerful Gaia Sansottera from Canegrate. Centre, 180 centimetres, born in 1998 and from 2017/18 he wore the black-orange shirt of the Alto Milanese team with whom this year he played an absolute top championship, closing the regular season in second place also thanks to the contribution of Sansottera, a player who has grown enormously in recent years (5.3 points on average in the last year). It’s a bit of the length that was historically missing from a Varese that was always racing and battle, but lacking in weight and tonnage under the iron. So, her salary goes to fill a gap in the neroargento roster and further relaunches the ambitions of a team that today boasts Rotta, Pratelli, Beretta, Villa, Faroni, Sorrentino and, indeed, Sansottera officially under the orders of coach Anilonti. Furthermore, for a Varese that raises its crest, there is a Canegrate that loses an important piece of the chessboard of a team that in the last two years has dictated the law in the Lombard Serie B, going so far as to fight for promotion to A2.
“To increase the team’s level it was necessary to add a long player who could even better counter the most dangerous pivots in our championship – explains GM Fabio Pozzi – Gaia is the player that’s right for us and we are very happy to have convinced her to embrace our cause, confident that, in addition to being a very good girl, she will be able to represent an important player in such a large and complete roster.”
“I chose to accept Varese’s proposal because I was presented with an interesting and ambitious project – Gaia comments – I think that the team that is being formed is made up of talented players: all together we could get some satisfaction. I hope to make my contribution, both in the game and as a person. I can’t wait to get started and test myself.” These are the immediate comments released on the Varese Women’s Basketball social channels. Now all that remains is to wait for the next blow, probably a matter of hours given the current rhythms…
