The 24-year-old guard talked about his experience with the Italian NT
Amedeo Della Valle said he's happy to represent his country by playing with the Italian national team in the FIBA World Cup qualifiers.
"I'm just happy to represent my country and I'm just playing," Della Valle said in an interview with FIBA.basketball. "I feel like I'm getting better all the time and not only with the practices with our team but because you play an international game and it's never easy."
The Italian national team has won four straight games in the FIBA World Cup qualifiers and Della Valle has emerged as the team's leader, averaging 24 points per game.
"For sure, something good is going our way," the 24-year-old guard said. "It's not just random to win four games in a row. We are on a very confident level right now. Our group makes the difference. We have fun together, we have a great environment. Everything is great.
"[Coach Meo Sacchetti] gives confidence to every single one of us. We are very hungry. Young guys want to play on the big stage so it doesn't matter if it's Croatia or Romania - all of us will go out there and try to show that we are there. But the credit goes to the coach because he puts us together and gives us confidence."
