Marco Spissu called up for the qualifying matches for the 2023 World Cup
Pozzecco's blues will face Spain and Georgia
Marco Spissu from Sassari is also among the 18 called up for the rally that begins Monday in Pesaro. The former Dinamo playmaker now in Venice is among the 18 called by coach Pozzecco (another former biancoblù) to prepare for the two races valid as qualification for the 2023 World Cup.
Italy will face Spain's world and European champions on Friday 11th, while on 14th they will be in Tibilisi to play against Georgia .
Even if it is no longer a surprise, Marco Spissu's call-up to the national team certainly pays credit to a boy who continues to grow. The play from Sassari took just a month to become one of the leaders of Venice: in the league although not entering the quintet he is the Reyer player with the best plus / minus for his ability to make the team play well , in EuroCup he plays 27 'of average and has 11 points (always with very good shooting percentages) and 4.5 assists.
