Press Release Pescara Water Polo
Bad performance and bad defeat for Pescara N & PN, beaten at home by Babel with a score of 13-12. If it is true that little changes for the purposes of the standings, with the Bincazzurri already qualified for the play-offs, what was more worrying than anything else was the performance, moreover against an opponent who had nothing to ask of the championship. So much inaccuracy, so many errors, which ultimately cost the knockout. Now there are two weeks to recharge the batteries and plan for game 1 of the semi-final scheduled in Catania against Muri Antichi: what is certain is that a completely different Pescara will be needed to try to compete against the winner of group 4.
The guests immediately scored with Bonetti, Miccichè and Bogni, then De Luca and Bonetti again scored. On their return to the pool, goals from Bartocci, Cunko and Cionfi. After the long interval Micheletti, Bogni, Micheletti, Gabriel Garcia, D’Incecco, Micheletti, Fredducci, Notarini and Bogni scored. In the last period the goals were scored by Andres Garcia, Bartocci, Andres Garcia again, Bogni, Cunko, Andres Garcia, De Luca and Micheletti.
“Babel deserved the result” says Mister Malara. “We were nervous, we made a lot of mistakes and we even got a red card with Bartocci. Being in the playoffs is the only positive thing at the end of a season marked by various problems, among all the lack of adequate water spaces.” And again: “The play-offs will certainly need a different Pescara than this one. We recover Giordano and probably return to Le Naiadi. Let’s start from here.” Then captain David Micheletti also speaks: “A very bad performance” he cuts it short. “We had to win and we didn’t manage to do so, also due to a lot of carelessness. It was a season of ups and downs, where we alternated good things and less good things. The team has shown that it can win and lose with anyone. What is certain is that we will go to Catania to win.”
