THE Andrea Trinchieri she had a nasty tantrum after her defeat Zalgiris by Ritas to a reporter who asked about how strong his players’ motivation was. “We lost by three points and you talk about motivation? I can’t understand how you live and what mentality you have! If I thought like you, I should be a gardener“, he had said.
At press conference he gave ahead of the match against Olympiakos the Italian coach apologized for his behavior. “I didn’t mean to offend or hurt anyone, but I have a right to disagree with a question. I apologize for how I expressed myself. It doesn’t matter what I was thinking, but how my statements were perceived and that is my fault. I do my job and you do yours, we may disagree sometimes but that’s okay“, he said.
In fact, he did not stop at words, but offered a bottle of wine as a gesture of reconciliation. “I believe that actions speak louder than words. This is a bottle of Italian wine, but it was not bought in a supermarket. It is from my personal collection, for special occasions and I believe this is one of those“, he emphasized.
Trinchieri is a friend of good wine and emphasized that it could have been the… solution to the dispute that Bartzokas and Jasikevicius had a few days ago. “I know them both well, I know with what passion they work. They are both amazing coaches. A good bottle of wine will solve the problem“, he commented.
