As reported by Italian newspaper La Repubblica (adapted by oasport), Meo Sacchetti criticized Danilo Gallinari’s absence in the upcoming crucial games of the FIBA World Cup Qualifiers.
“The absence of Gallinari is serious, like that of Belinelli. Marco told me that the next NBA championship with the Spurs will be very important for him and that he preferred to stay out. Others immediately responded to the call.”
Unlike Belinelli, Gallinari’s absence was not taken light-heartedly: “He must feel the blue [Italy’s NT color], not in words but with facts “, Sacchetti commented.
The coach also shared his thoughts about a possible intervention by Italian Federation President, Gianni Petrucci: “Nothing could be done. The power of the NBA and the lack of will of the player are great obstacles. I was only hoping it would be simpler to deal with two games before the start of the NBA season. Let’s draw a line and do not think about it anymore. “
