A victory was needed to rekindle the red and white environment, disappointed and demotivated by the last two defeats in the championship against Reggio Emilia and Tortona. It was needed and an important victory for the team arrived Varese Basketball who won the first leg of the FIBA Europe Cup semi-finals, overcoming by 81-80 The Bahcesehir after a great performance.
A success that revives the red and white fans who, after the match, comment with satisfaction on social media, the success achieved, as they write Luciano Rossi: “Too bad for too many points left on the line, but still one of the best matches of the last 2 months. Excellent Spencer, but everyone brought their own brick. Let’s hope well for the season finale“, Claudio Cason: “What a pain guys but let’s go Varese“, Walter Zavatti: “Good and hard-fought match, the return leg will be another battle” and Elena Colella: “Difficult as always but brought home! Go Varese“.
Despite the victory, many fans remain very doubtful about progressing to the next round, as they say Emanuele Albricci: “Yes, to go to Turkey with any chance of the final we would have had to win by at least 30 points…. given the friendly climate of the sports halls in those parts“, Manuel Bogni: “Let’s say that the important thing was to bring it home, now on paper in Turkey we take a roll, but the ball is round and that percentage that exists we try to take it“, Alberto Corsini: “One point is nothing unfortunately” And Matteo Colombo: “From a qualifying perspective it will probably be a Pyrrhic victory. But the way it was going, we were good at coming back and we brought out our attributes. We hope it helps to give us the right push for salvation“.
Many Itelyum supporters, however, rather than thinking about the victory, are already focused on Saturday’s championship match against Brescia, as they say Fulvio Chiodetti: “With this determination we save ourselves. So good“, Roberto Ferrari: “That’s good, same balls in the championship now too…go Varese“, Filippo Carrozzino: “Excellent match, congratulations to everyone, now head against Brescia who will be a bedlam to lead them to victory“, MauRo Benini Pinna: “Ok the victory in the Cup, but now let’s think about the championship because salvation still has to be achieved!” And Andrea Minelli: “I repeat, the championship is more important, in Turkey I think they will turn us around, too many mental declines have characterized the season, then we have no bench…“.
