Press room at the Mediolanum Forum in Assago for the coach of Germani Brescia Alessandro Magro: “It’s a match that certainly gives us some indications, it’s a match. The first. We have to start from the defense that we tried to do and fix in the second half. If we want to compete against Milan, conceding 61 points in the first half becomes prohibitive. I do Congratulations to Voigtmann for his performance, especially in the first half. It will be a good night’s work try to fix some details. The team is there, they want to play and try again in two days.
Was there too much booing? Otherwise we play volleyball. We can’t control the referees. We have to check the rebounds before the referees. I said it before: on both sides. We have to try to do our things better, in the end we will try to talk about the players. Now I’m much more focused on what we need to do better.
Milan is a team that wants to continue playing side-to-side, involving all the players. She’s great at it. In the 61 points scored in the first half, I believe there were carelessness that we cannot afford. Our first half? Definitely softer than necessary. We have to try to be tougher, defend better. Voigtmann is a player who, like others from Milan, can play this match. We have to make choices, try to bet on someone. He made some very difficult baskets, well done. On other things we have to try to be tougher, fill the area better. The fact that we came back at the end and thought we had possession to bring us closer means that we have straightened the game and we have to start from this.
We played a good team game knowing that in the individuality there are those who can bring an extra brick. We had to get into the series, I think we got into it. As well as the Milan players. Shields and Mirotic did less than usual but others, like Flaccadori or Voigtamnn, played the game.
John Petrucelli’s playing time? It’s not 100% yet, we had to manage it. But it’s there. As for the wing rotation, Christon is our starting point guard. We live and die with him. I had to sacrifice Cournooh to keep CJ and Della Valle on the pitch, but it’s not a decision that will be continuous.”
