Michele Ruzzierface of the promotion of Trieste Basketball, spoke to the microphones of DAZN Got Game. “We started from the beginning of the playoffs and found ourselves underdog. Incredible emotion, for me, my teammates, the city. Being from Trieste, the result is worth double. So I’m very happy. How much of the coach is there [Jamion Christian]? A lot, he’s a great person. From day one it was like having a friend rather than a boss. He gave us a lot, starting with trust. And also tactically and technically he has improved a lot. They are two different basketball schools, he had to settle in. In the end the result is a lot thanks to him.
My role? I believe that a point guard should do this, as I understand the role. My teammates trusted me and my choices, they too should be thanked. Finishing as MVP was even greater satisfaction.
On when he understood that they could do it, Ruzzier adds: “From Game 1 in Turin. I immediately sensed greater confidence from my teammates compared to the regular season. And from there I immediately felt that something had clicked, my heart was beating differently .
TRIESTE AMBITIOUS CLUB
“What if I started thinking about Serie A? Certainly returning to those stages, like the Forum, or against Virtus and other popular teams, stimulates me, stimulates the square. We are excited to return to Serie A after just one year. My choice to stay in Trieste also on the A2? Yes, it was a risky choice but it paid off in the end. There were many teams that could have gone up, next year it will be even more difficult. Having come out this year was also lucky. I definitely think that next year one goal is to achieve a peaceful salvation. Return to play in Europe? I sincerely hope to do it here in Trieste, the company is ambitious, the ownership is super ambitious. I hope to have the chance to return to a European Cup at home. That would be a truly amazing thing. The property aims for the top. Maybe not in the immediate future but it certainly is.”
