Marco Spissu: ʺI am very attached to Tortona. Winning the FIBA Europe Cup was an indescribable joy
Great satisfaction for Marco Spissu, among the protagonists of Dinamo Sassari's victory of the FIBA Europe Cup. For the Sardinian playmaker, achieving such a prestigious success with the shirt of his hometown team was a success ʺsomething magical, which cannot be described in words. I hugged the fans present in Germany at the end of the match, I felt like one of them: ten years ago I was in the stands cheering on the team, now I contributed to the victory of a European cup. It's a dream, a huge emotion.
The victory in the FIBA Europe Cup came after an important European journey, within one season It changed with the arrival of Pozzecco, who is a born winner and – continues Spissu – he conveyed to us his desire to win. During the year we always believed we could triumph and, round after round, we acquired greater self-awareness: this was our secret. We are building our enthusiasm day after day and we want to continue along the path undertaken so far.
The playmaker born in 95 was among the great protagonists of Derthona's 2015/16 season, which ended with the elimination in game 5 of the quarter-finals against Brescia, who at the end of that year achieved promotion to Serie A. Spissu the year spent in the black and white jersey ʺIt was very important, as coach Cavina entrusted me with the keys to the team, making me very responsible. It was the first season in which I had such an important role within a roster that ended the regular season in the top places of the standings and was defeated in the playoffs only by a very strong team..
In the year spent in Piedmont, the Sardinian point guard has developed ʺdifferent friendships with people that I still feel today. The first thing that comes to mind about Tortona is Luigino, who unfortunately is no longer with us, while of the players in this year's team I have a good bond with Spizzichini, with whom I often speak..
