Kenneth Viglianisi: “I have wonderful memories of Tortona, I'm happy to be back. I will give my all for this shirt."
Last to arrive in chronological order in Tortona, Kenneth Viglianisi he returned to wear the black and white shirt for the second time in his career after his experience in the extraordinary 2013/14 season, which ended with the team's promotion to Serie A2. His past in the city ʺit was fundamental in my choice to return: I spent some wonderful months here and the people I had left behind convinced me, together with the company's growth plan, to return to wearing this shirt againʺ.
There are several reasons that pushed Kenneth to accept the Club's proposal, starting with ʺgreat memories that bind me to these colours. I also had the opportunity to speak with Ganeto, with whom I have had an excellent relationship over the last three years in Trapani. The reasons for my choice are however very broad: the club wants to do well, as do I, and therefore common ambitions played a decisive role.
Having returned to Italy after his experience at Mitteldeutscher in the Bundesliga, Viglianisi described the main differences between the two countries at basketball level: ʺThe Bundesliga is very structured: they began to reorganize several years ago and this has allowed them to raise the technical and entertainment level. The difference between Italy and Germany that stands out is linked to the structures, as the German arenas are all new and full, people go to watch the matches to spend a day with the family: the way in which the match is approached is different..
It's impossible for the class of '92 not to look back, to four years ago, when he was among the architects of the triumph of the team then coached by coach Antonello Arioli. Compared to that moment ʺI have changed, because although I am still young I have had the opportunity to have many different experiences. As a player I have improved in managing the individual game in terms of sensations, I am more clear-headed and calmer now. On the pitch, then, I always gave my all to win and played in different roles according to needs"..
In closing, Viglianisi then wanted to take a look at the A2 championship, which has become even more competitive thanks to the increased number of promotions, which have It encouraged the teams who already had a good project in mind to speed up the process, as this could really be a good year. Even those who want to save themselves have had to make their own choices, given the growth in the level of the tournament: I believe that the regular season has changed its value, the championship is no longer a marathon as it was in previous years but has also transformed into one sprint. Every game, every two points can now really change the fate of a season.
