With… terrifying appearance from start to finish, the USA they crushed it 100-63 Italy and booked a place in the semi-finals of the World Cup.
After the match, the emotionally charged Gianmarco Poceco praised his players for the effort they made to get the team to the quarter-finals, while emphasizing that Italy was unlucky to play the USA, while they had come out first in the “16” group.
In detail what Pocheko said:
“Everybody thought we had no chance of winning. My players came here and made it to the top 8 teams in the world. Meli’s reaction means everything to me. There is nothing more to tell you. We can leave now. You understand what mentality my players showed in this tournament.
We didn’t deserve anything more, but we didn’t deserve to play against the USA either. We were first in our group. That’s all. This is sports. I love all my players. I loved them before the match and I love and respect them even more now.
During the match I started talking to some players from the USA, so when the match was over I approached Kerr to explain that I was just talking, I didn’t complain, I didn’t fight with them. I have been a player myself. He told me that he understands me.”
