Among the 30 people called up for the pre-Olympic Games is Francesco. Next year he will play in Cividale in A-2, in the meantime he won the Next Gen with Olimpia Milano and scored 66 points in an U19 championship match…
He had anticipated it. “I will call many young guys, you will be surprised.” Francesco Ferrari is one of these. He is among the list of 30 players called up by coach Gianmarco Pozzecco in view of the next Italbasket meeting aimed at achieving qualification for the Paris Games. A great satisfaction for the boy to find himself together with so many big names, first and foremost Danilo Gallinari. Even knowing that in the end it will only be a certificate of esteem (the list will immediately drop to 18…), it still remains an invitation to never give up. Not only are the major championships followed by the blue staff, but also the so-called minor ones. Ferrari, born in 2005 (born on 18 August), 202 cm, winger, next season he will play in Cividale, in A-2 (for him a two-year contract with the option to leave at the end of the first year), but – it must be remembered – he comes from College Borgomanero, interregional Serie B. Not bad.
