Tomorrow the challenge with Varese which is worth a significant share of the first place in the standings, Monday the crowd bath and the meeting with the black and white fans. It will be a two-day event full of events for the Virtus Segafredo that keeps its feet firmly on the present, but dreams big in view of the playoffs. A dream that the players and the black and white club want to share with their people who have always been very close to the team at home and away.

To consolidate a partnership that hopefully can bring something important to Virtus, the club is going to meet its fans: so on Monday afternoon, around 17pm Achilles Polonara, will be a guest of the 'Barberino Outlet' to crown a two-day event that will see the center as the point of reference for orange ball.

Sponsor of Virtus, between tomorrow and Monday the center is organizing a two-day basketball experience to be enjoyed between sports, entertainment and shopping. For two days the heart of 'Barberino Outlet' will be transformed into a playground for mini-tournaments, games and challenges for all ages with entertainers and professionals who will be offering gadgets and discounts on the best brands. On Monday, three spectacular shows by DaMove, the Italian freestyle basketball crew with unmissable acrobatic basketball numbers, will take place. A live DJ set with urban, house and rock sounds in perfect street culture style will make the atmosphere exciting and engaging.

The icing on the cake, of course, is the meeting scheduled for Monday at 17pm with Achilles Polonara which will answer questions posed by fans. Readers can send their questions to the address [email protected].

On Monday, on the eve of the away game in Scafati and while waiting to close the regular season with the match against Trapani, the Bianconeri supporters will be able to make their warmth felt in Polonara, who is representing a Virtus team that is aiming to achieve the dream of the Scudetto. In his second season under the Two Towers, the thirty-four-year-old native of Ancona is confirming himself as a fixed point in coach Dusko Ivanovic's chessboard, a coach that Polonara also had during his experience in Baskonia. Grit, determination, the desire to always fight and never give up, the Juventus winger also fought against testicular cancer, undergoing surgery in October 2023, but returning to the field just two months after the operation. His desire to fight it's the same as a Virtus that wants to win again and wants to do it starting from the warm embrace of its fans.
