Bologna –
After the World Championship Achille Polonara officially started his adventure at Virtus Segafredo Bologna: “I arrived very charged and couldn’t wait to start. The feelings are great and after the first days I can tell about a super group. I already knew some teammates: Beli, Hackett, Abi were with me in the national team, I also knew Bruno Mascolo, I played with Dunston both in Varese and Efes, I’m glad to find them all here again.”
“Virtus is a historical club, both in Italian and European basketball. It has a big following, maybe it’s the club with the most fans in Italy, it has a crazy, die-hard fan base. I can’t wait to play at home and feel the warmth of our fans. Finally our paths have crossed, it’s about time to get to Virtus, I’m super pumped up already for Saturday. Being a very curious person, I asked Pajo a lot of questions, both about the club and about Bologna in general. He has been here all his life, maybe he knows Bologna better than his city, which is also my city, Ancona. He told me that he was comfortable right from the start and that I will definitely be comfortable as well.”
