SIENA. Costone took a 2-0 lead in the play-off semi-finals with Agliana and on Sunday 28 April (two-ball at 6.00 pm), at the PalaCapitini they hope to be able to close the series and get their ticket to the play-off finals, which will take the away on May 12th.
“Maintaining the home advantage in a best-of-five series is of fundamental importance, and having done so gives us hope for the continuation of the play-offs.” Speaking is Riccardo Riccardini, assistant coach.
“Now we will have two chances to close the score away – continues the coach – but we know perfectly well that our opponents are even more dangerous within their friendly walls. We expect a tough match, with coach Gambassi’s boys going all out to extend their season.”
“The objective, at this point, becomes closing the series in three races – adds Riccardini –, also because it would allow us to take a breather. We come to this challenge with confidence, with the boys feeling well, but it’s certainly not the time to relax yet. An opponent becomes even more dangerous when he finds himself with his back against the wall, and this is the situation in which Agliana finds itself and can only win. If we want to celebrate on Sunday – he concludes –, it will be necessary to improve the shooting percentages and maintain the defensive approach that we have shown in these two matches. And that’s what we’ve been working for these days.”
