Coach Salvatore Formato he commented at the end of the match on DelFes’ victory over Pielle Livorno which reopens the playoff series, taking it to game 4. “Great match, I wanted to thank the public for coming in such large numbers. For me, being from Avellino, it was an emotion to play in a stadium with many Irpinia fans. Thanks also to the team for what they put on the pitch today, proving that they are not the same as the first two games, we reacted well, I want to make a special dedication to a boy from Perugia who Burini and I are particularly close to, Giacomo. who passed away today after a bad illness and I dedicate this victory to him.
The difference was made by the defensive approach, the imprint given to the match. I think Livorno scoring 27 points in two quarters is a rarity and this is due to our defense. The percentages helped us but we can’t think of beating Pielle if we don’t defend in this way because they have incredible offensive potential, they always widen the field, they play with 4 wingers and if we aren’t good at containing them we can’t compete with them as we have been in the two races in Livoirno.
Today the public made the difference but the initiatives implemented by the company were countless with the promotion of tickets and today we were able to enjoy the DelMauro effect, at the Palamacchia in Livorno it is like this all year round, we had an audience worth playoffs. I hope that our fans will cheer us on again like today who was our sixth man on the pitch.”
