We continue to dream at Italservice Pesaro. And to work hard in view of the start of the series valid for the championship semi-final. Race 1 is upon us: the red and whites visit Meta Catania on Saturday, kick off at 4pm and match broadcast live exclusively on Sky Sport. Captain Felipe Tonidandel, who turned 34 yesterday (happy birthday again!), has the intention of collecting gifts: “The gift, which arrived early, was to win game 3 of the quarter-finals in Rome, but in any case I would have been also happy with another gift, this time to be unwrapped in Catania. There are no easy matches against the Sicilians (two draws in the Serie A regular season, ed.), they have always been very hard-fought matches. It will be no different in this championship semi-final. All the teams want to get to the final and will give everything.” Head turned to match 1, at PalaCatania, a very warm environment: “It will be beautiful. Their arena is truly fascinating, I believe that Meta Catania and Italservice Pesaro boast the highest spectator average in the entire Serie A. We will try to get a result, playing a match focused on our strengths, trying to make as few mistakes as possible.” . Therefore, it is forbidden to stop dreaming: “If we didn’t have the ambition to dream, we wouldn’t have won in Rome. But match 1 with Catania and this series will be completely different.”
SERIES RULES – In case of a draw in game 1 and game 2, we will proceed with extra time. At the end of extra time, three points will be awarded to the winning team or one point to both. In the event that both matches end in a draw, Catania will qualify. Any race 3 will be held only in the event of a victory each in the previous races. If game 3 ends in a draw, even after extra time, penalties will be taken.
THE DATES OF THE SERIES – Game 2, at the PalaMegabox in Pesaro, will be played on Thursday 30 May at 8.30 pm and will be visible exclusively on Sky Sport. The possible match, race 3, is scheduled for Tuesday 4 June, back in Sicily at 7 pm.
