(Adnkronos) - "Mi fa piacere parlare con i giovani, anche perché penso che sia fondamentale per noi sportivi provare a rinnovare un po' l'idea di quali siano i valori che lo sport riesce a implementare. C'è una retorica un po' banale, a volte, nell'idea che lo sport sia a prescindere un modello di vita, cosa che io non penso sia vera. Lo sport è sicuramente utile per certi aspetti, ma in questo mondo così polarizzato può diventare anche un problema. Quindi ripensare per bene a quali siano i valori che cui siamo portatori è il nostro obbligo da ex sportivi". Lo ha detto l’ex pallavolista Andrea Zorzi in occasione del talk show Fair Play Menarini – I campioni si raccontano svoltosi a Firenze presso il Salone dei Cinquecento di Palazzo Vecchio

00:00I like to speak with young people because I think it is fundamental for us sportsmen to try to renew the idea of what are the values that sport can implement.
00:13In the sense that there is a bit of a rhetorical, a bit banal at times, in the idea that sport is regardless of a lifestyle, which I don't think is true.
00:20Sport is certainly useful in some respects, but in this polarized world it can also become a problem.
00:25So to think again about what are the values that sport can implement is our duty as ex-sportsmen.
00:30Volleyball, the women's team won the gold, so we are very happy for them.
00:33It is a highly interdependent sport, in the sense that by regulation you have to pass the ball to your teammates.
00:38All team sports pass the ball, but we are obliged to do it.
00:42This makes volleyball a highly interdependent sport, which means that you win only if you are willing to collaborate.
00:48What does it mean to be close friends?
00:50It means knowing that the quality of the game depends on this ability to be part of a larger process.
00:56Our national team did very well and I am happy for them, for a well-deserved and beautiful gold.
01:02The quality of our women's national team is very high.
01:04It has been for a few years on this side.
01:06They wasted a few chances and Velazquez was very good at finding a way to give a sense to this team, a unity.
01:11He said himself that it is not obligatory to be friends, it is necessary to be very good colleagues with professional respect.
01:16Our women's national team are very strong in all roles and could have a great future.
01:20For a sport, nothing is guaranteed, I really wish it.
01:22The important thing is to take a step at a time.
