Italy’s National Team head coach Meo Sacchetti commented the decision of Danilo Gallinari not to join the team for September’s games against Poland and Hungary.
“This time he called me. But this change nothing: I took note, I cannot get down on my knees nor call the police. We will play without him” Sacchetti told, as reported by La Repubblica. “You must feel the “Azzurro” on you, not in words but with facts. Did I talk with Gianni Petrucci (The president of the Italian Basketball Federation)? Yes, but nothing can be done. The power of the NBA and the lack of will of the players are not surmountable hurdles. I was hoping that everything could have been easier considering that the two games are before the NBA training camp starts” Sacchetti added.
