00:00Achille Polonara is guest of Sport Business Forum, yesterday the Virtus Bologna was eliminated
00:07forse a surprise by the Ryer Venezia, who will go to the Ryer?
00:14I am impartial, so I don't tifo for anyone, and I am going to see this game and I do
00:23to say that Ryer Venezia has won meritedly, and I am very happy for the Virtus, which is my ex
00:28squadra, but I have always said that this year the match will be in Milan.
00:34Andrea Bargnani, Bellinelli, Gallinari, these are names that have been great for the national team, the national team in which
00:42you have played, and you are also a captain.
00:44If you had a last shot, who would you trust?
00:46I would say, because he is a great friend, Dalilo Gallinari, because he is a guy with more talent, and
00:56I would say to him, I would say to him.
00:58You have toured Europe to bring your basketball to every latitude, do you have an experience in particular between Turkey,
01:06Spain, Italy, which brings you to the heart?
01:10What are you doing in particular?
01:11I have been, especially in the past, I have been very beautiful, very beautiful, and if I have to think
01:18of a year in particular, I think of my second year in Baskonia, in which I have played in my
01:24first season.
01:26Today, among the many challenges you have to face, is that of the disease.
01:30Your book is called Il Mio Secondo Tempo. What does it do in this second time, Achille Polonara?
01:37I am loving my family, I am loving many moments with my children, since this year I haven't spent so
01:48much time together, for a series of reasons.
01:50And then we will see, I would like to stay in the basket, but it is still soon.
01:55You remain in the basket, because the memories of your games are fresh and are so many.
02:01But what is the game that brings you to the heart and maybe one day to see your children?
02:04It is the finale in Serbia to qualify for the Olympics in 2021, that no one believed in us, but
02:12we have made a great job.
02:14Achille, you have seen that many sports, but not only many Italians, in this moment you want really well, are
02:20you very close?
02:21Is it a perception that you have?
02:23Yes, I have received a lot of affection, even yesterday when I was at Taliercio, even though I didn't have
02:27ever played in Venezuela.
02:29Many people have welcomed me as if I was an ex-game player in Venezuela.
02:34So these things make me happy and give me great strength.
02:38Thank you very much.
