The playoffs in the Interregional Serie B finally begin, but for the Robur Saronno that he will face Basketball Lucca and will enter the post-season as the number 1 seed, nothing changes. The password, or rather, the favorite phrase for Andrea Quinti and comrades it’s always the same: having fun yes, pressure no!
“That’s right – says the president of Saronno Ezio Vaghi -. We have reached this point, which is decidedly fantastic, achieving a long series of positive results without having set precise goals, but having a few objectives in mind: going to the gym to work and above all improve, then doing the best possible, always playing to the best of our ability. possibilities and, as mentioned in the introduction, thinking about entertaining ourselves and the public who follow us with great passion and interest. An audience which, it is a pleasure to underline, is not only that of Saronno if it is true, as it is true, that we have received sincere compliments in numerous fields: Empoli, Cecina, Siena and others. Then, we are aware of it, now we know that the game has become really important, but this does not mean we will change our philosophy and the carefree attitude that has characterized our entire season.”
As they say “it doesn’t happen, but if it happens”, have you ever thought about the possibility of a promotion which, bluntly, would be sensational?
“In truth, the whole truth, we never took this possibility into consideration because, I will repeat it until I get bored, we started this season as newly promoted players with the primary objective of not being relegated and, if anything, checking ourselves along the way. However, players and staff have put together a series of incredible miracles and now, I know well, everyone points to us as the big favourites. If it happens, we won’t back down even if, another truth, I don’t even like the idea of having to abandon our “home” or our beloved Centro Ronchi, which is not suitable for playing in the B Nazionale, which has hosted us for more than 40 years. a bit’. Oh well, in any case it’s too early to think about these things now so we’ll see later.”
Thus, without ever even pronouncing the word B Nazionale, AZ Saronno is preparing to cross paths with that of Basket Lucca, second place in the Silver group. The Lucca team, led by coach Leonardo Olivieri, counts on experienced men as well as the wingers Burgalassi, Barsanti, Tempestini, Trentin, Simonetti and Del Debbiowhile under the crystals they act Pierini and Barbieri.
“Lucca is an experienced, physical team that, playing as a team, offers no reference points and is galvanized by an unexpected qualification for the playoffs – concludes Vaghi – he will play with a light head and many, many motivations.”
