Virtus and the day of judgment. Next Monday the future of the club. Tucker is destined for Aek Athens

Tucker in AEK Athens' sights, Grazulis on the doorstep of the Porelli gym (and perhaps leaving the black and white world). At home Virtus the mood is at a very low level, but this does not mean that there is an air of demobilization. Even if Visconti, for example, yesterday terminated his contract to fly to Spain, where he hopes to play. For Tucker (who had previously said no to a return to Venice) and Grazulis the story is different: on Friday, after the defeat in Belgrade, they were in Trieste, with their teammates. But the arrows of the day before by Ivanovic – "a losing mentality that I do not like" – evidently had Rayjon and Andrejs as their main references. To the point that the two, without staying in Trieste, returned to Bologna by taxi.

Whether this is the prelude to a definitive renunciation of the two - and as we have seen the American not only has a market, but also requests - we will only find out in the next few days. Bearing in mind that, at this point, even if there are two away games in between Euroleague, the day of judgment, could materialize on Monday.

Because Monday night, the Virtus will return to friendly soil Segafredo Arena. And, given the latest banners, we will have to understand if it will still be a friendly ground, or if the team and the club will be booed if not contested.

In the meantime, the club continues with its modus operandi: that is, without raising its voice and without making official statements – other than those of the coach and players before and after the match – and waiting for the recapitalization set at 3 million euros.

As decided in the past, also with the sharing of ideas by the minority shareholder, Massimo Zanetti e Carlo Gherardi will be called to replenish the black and white coffers. The idea, at least the one that is most popular for now, is to maintain the proportions. With 55 percent in the hands of Zanetti and the rest to Gherardi. Then the further deadline could materialize by June 30. Zanetti has reiterated on several occasions that he wants to leave with a small building: we will see if the project regarding the Fair can materialize or not.

In the meantime, the club is trying to look forward: it is difficult, especially in light of the latest evidence, that it will be possible to continue, even next season, with Dusko Ivanovic. We will also need to understand what the openings (or closings) of the Euroleague will be. And in any case, among the coaches who are being followed closely, there is Paolo Galbiati who, as an outsider, has already won the Italian Cup in 2018 with Turin and this season with Trento. A profile that could be interesting. But even in this case, everything could be linked to the Euroleague.

Closing, finally, with Marco Belinelli. Today is a special day for the captain who is celebrating his 39th birthday. His triples could take on a special meaning in this final part of the season.
