(from the correspondent Emanuele Rizzi) – “I got married before going to retreat with the national team. The last 10 days have been full of emotions. We returned from Belgrade and on Sunday 11 July I got married, and then on Monday I left for the retreat and then came to Tokyo. How did my wife take it? Was she aware …, now divorce … She was very happy for me. We will do the honeymoon. We will see when and where on my return to Italy. It depends on the covid and when the next championship will start ”. This is the story of the blue guard Michele Vitali, from the Tokyo Olympic Village to the Adnkronos, of these last ten days, full of emotions for him, from his marriage with Carlotta to qualifying for the Olympics, up to his arrival in Tokyo. The blue then recounted the sensations that he and the blue basketball team are experiencing in the Tokyo 2020 Village. “Life in the village is crazy, the days fly too fast, it’s a unique feeling, a crazy thing. It is truly incredible, you find anyone next to you in the canteen or in the weight room. We have recently been here and there are 11 thousand athletes and 70 thousand people in the Village, incredible. The restrictions are the usual, mask and gloves in the canteen, tampons every morning, after all we are on the bubble ”, said the blue guard from the Olympic Village. “Being here is an incredible emotion for everyone, now we are realizing, we will do it 100% at the opening ceremony, after 17 years being here in Tokyo after winning with Serbia, where everyone gave us up for dead, is something unique. We are crazy with joy and happiness, we are realizing now. None of us have ever experienced this situation. Now that we are here every day is a unique experience ”, added Vitali among the protagonists of the key match against Puerto Rico when Italy was down by 17 points. “There there was a great signal of mental strength from all of us, we came with little preparation due to the covid and with the team not complete, but to recover from -17 it means that you have mental toughness, it was an important signal “. The blue after the Olympics will return to Italy to play with Reyer Venezia after the experience in Germany at Bamberg. “In Germany I found myself very well, it was a wonderful experience, I like to get involved and get out of the comfort zone, I met beautiful people. I’m going back to Italy where I expect a good championship, like this year, very balanced, where there can be some surprises. For Venice, the history of the last few years certainly speaks for itself, it has been competitive, and the goal is to get to the bottom of the two competitions. The favorites for the next championship? Milan and Bologna are eye-catching but we will try to be there “. “The first match of the Olympic basketball tournament with Germany? We do not expect any easy game, it will be a great emotion, but we are ready to enjoy it and to give everything we have, with humility and hunger, as we did in Serbia and with the desire to do something important “, said the blue guard Michele. Vitali at Adnkronos on the debut in the Tokyo 2020 basketball tournament of the Italian national team of Meo Sacchetti. “The US favorites for Gold? There are so many favorite teams, Argentina, Australia, France, Spain, as well as the United States, it’s a very high level competition, and you have to be ready to give everything with no regrets. Objective? We are not here on vacation, we have not set ourselves a goal, now there is Germany and we are thinking about one game at a time. We are here to try to do something important and have fun, “added Vitali.
