Only one result. It’s time for game two for Bitonto who will host the Milanese Kick Off team in the unusual midweek afternoon round.
THE PREMISES – We start again from the 4-2 of the first leg in favor of the Bianconere, with the Lionesses required to win in order to qualify for the semi-finals in game three. It won’t be easy, but it will be the only thing to do for the Neroverdi who, after an encore in the Cup, dream of also attempting an encore in the championship which, from a far-sighted perspective, would mean having the possibility of playing for the Champions League for the second consecutive year League. A tough challenge, therefore, but at the same time for lionesses to continue to dream big. The match was refereed by Andrea Antonio Basile as first referee, Francesco Saverio Mancuso as second referee. Third referee will be Dario Pezzuto and the stopwatch will be Saverio Carone. Appointment at the Pala “Pansini” in Giovinazzo at 3.00 pm. It’s time to roar even louder.
MARZUOLI on race 1: “It was a strange race where, despite building a lot, something didn’t work and didn’t allow us to be as effective as usual. These days we have to work to understand what didn’t work and try to improve it. I’ve always said that Kick Off is not what the ranking says. It’s a young, physical team that when it’s matchday is an uncomfortable customer for anyone. Now we have to win if we want to even the series and go to game 3. We have to be Bitonto only so we can get the better of the All Blacks.”
NICOLETTI – Susy Nicoletti has played many inside-out games in her career: “The playoffs are always a strange championship within the season. Validating your value is never easy. Playing the first game at home, then, doesn’t give you many psychological advantages because you risk losing and being forced to win two in a row, albeit at home, and that’s never easy. We’ll play it on Thursday and we’ll do everything we can to go to Game 3 and play for qualification to the semi-finals. We owe it to our people and to the city that follows us with so much passion.”
