Simone Fontecchio spoke to the press at the Baskonia media day.<\/p>\n
The talented forward of the Italian national team talked about his first steps with coach Ivanovic and his goals for the season.<\/p>\n
“We are paying a lot of attention to the defense and to the little things on offense, we will have to be smarter to make up for the absences of Costello and Peters (injured). I will probably have to play more as power forward, but that’s not a problem, I’ve already done so many times. For now, Ivanovic is asking us for simple things \u201d.<\/p>\n
On the duo with Rokas Giedraitis.<\/p>\n
“We are similar, with him on the court I can play more in the post, we can be aggressive and change in defense, this can be an important tactical weapon”<\/p>\n
Personal and team goals.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are working to become a very tough and aggressive team, we have a lot of important players.<\/p>\n
We have to fight to win the maximum number of games.<\/p>\n
I had a very long but very beautiful summer. I am very happy and although I have not had much time to rest, I am physically fine. I want to become a better player at this level \u201d.<\/p>\n
