Last press conference of the season for coach Nicola Brienza with his Estra Pistoia eliminated by Brescia 3-0: “There is little to say for the match, only to applaud 120 minutes – the three matches – for the quality of the game, the roster and the quality of coach Magro’s work and for how they are playing, very high level basketball I agree with what should be done, applaud them, as our fans did. They had the physical and mental toughness of a top-level team.
I want to thank all the old owners. Three years ago we started a beautiful journey together. I still remember the first match against Capo d’Orlando, the first, we lost. Today there is something incredible. I am very grateful to the group of Italians who have followed a professional path of the highest level. I thank you all. Clearly not least, we never talk about it. I would have liked to have all the staff here who, as I said yesterday, in reference to my prize, are the great secret of Pistoia. It reminded me a lot of my first Cantù: miracles were achieved with little. And today we did something incredible. Leaving this building will pay off all the trouble I’ve had with Sambugaro. Thank you all”.
