Daniel Hackett, Virtus Bologna’s playmaker, talks about himself in La Repubblica on the day of the match between Virtus Bologna and Olimpia Milano in the EuroLeague. Here are some passages:
ABOUT CSKA
‘I have not been back to Moscow since that terrible February 2022. I liked the city, its slow, quiet pace, protective of anonymity. Then, of course, I was a Cska player and certain benefits count. All erased in a few hours. The morning war broke out we were in Munich to play Bayern. We watched the tigers, went down to the technical meeting and among the most shocked I remember Shved. He had Ukrainian parents, he would not take the field. German TV would not broadcast the game. At the palace the Euroleague informed us that the game was not being played’.
ABOUT THE FUTURE
‘The beer is there. And there is fire in it. In fact, it’s back. I agreed to defy age. I did a battle with myself not to listen to the false perception that my time had passed. Now I want to play with everyone.’
‘Another year of contract I have and I am convinced it will not be the last. Then I don’t see myself as a coach. I see myself finally standing still, in Pesaro, with my family, and maybe in the gym raising a team of kids.’
