Mauro Ferrari, majority shareholder of Pallacanestro Brescia, was a guest on Wednesday evening of the program “Basket Time 2.0”, broadcast on Teleleonessa (channel 119 of digital terrestrial), where he made an excursus of his team’s last season but expanding the topic on the sustainability of professional basketball, and how to preserve the future of a club today. “We work as a team, we behaved with Pistoia as Milan did with us, Milan and Bologna are there for now, we are Brescia and let’s not forget it. The former mayor Del Bono says that if we are sure of making the Serie A every year in Brescia this is our scudetto, we must keep our feet firmly on the ground. If we analyze our 10 players we will have to work hard in the next few weeks, unfortunately the cycles begin and end, there won’t be many of us left next year, some for identity cards and some for the transfer market.
Massinburg was a normal player, the staff created what he is today, he was created by Pallacanestro Brescia, but at the end of the season we find ourselves a handful of flies in our hands, it should be a driving force for funding for the youth sectors, but instead it becomes a fly for himself, he leaves us at the end a beautiful smile, two tears and a memory of the city. I still don’t accept that the prosecutor should take 10% of Massinburg’s salary, which will be $500,000. What did his manager do to deserve it? Christon has a difficult character to manage, Amedeo is his age and you need to have a team that can handle him, Petrucelli dreams of the EuroleagueBilan is 36 years old, Cournooh plays point guard, but is not point guard, Cobbins is 32 years old.
Today our team is Akele and Burnell, we have to sit down and understand what we want to do, see the sponsors and families who still believe in the project, because you don’t go anywhere alone. In recent days a fan has written a letter to the club, saying that he will still have a season ticket and writing to us that it has been an important year, a success, but when we should have been there, however, we were not there, that is, in the Super Cup, the Italian Cup and the semi-final with Milan. We have to understand where we can get to, the important thing is that the movement continues, we have to maintain the youth sector and Serie A. At a management level we are a team, we compare ourselves and try to make as few mistakes as possible. If in football he can lose, draw or gain, in basketball he can only lose. Nobody does basketball to get rich, there aren’t really any conditions. In Brescia we must continue to build something that will last over time, fortunately there are many families who want the good of basketball in the city, but when they get bored, starting with Germani, There’s no need to run the risk of it all ending”.
