Gianmarco Bozzico He appeared in a press conference after Italy was eliminated from the World Cup by the United States. The North American team did not give the Italian any chance, winning 100 to 63.

These were his words:

“Everyone thought we had no chance of winning this game. There is nothing I would like to say. Don’t ask questions, you have to understand the kind of mentality we showed in this World Cup. We can’t fly, but they didn’t know that and they were able to fly. We entered the top 8. They did not deserve to play against the USA because we came in first place. That’s it, that’s sport. “I like my players more after the match.”

Before, at the microphones of the Italian channel RAI, he emphasized the challenge they faced after finishing first in the group:

“Winning against Serbia and finishing first in the group to face the United States… we needed a little luck in the crosses. We should have faced Lithuania. I’m still convinced that with any other team we would have reached the semi-finals. What’s more, they expected to overwhelm the United States, but they were very successful in the attack.
