We made mistakes in the details in a good match. – explained the Del Fes coach, Alessandro Crotti – We came unstuck in the key phase, in the lost rebound, in the foul to be spent when it must be spent. Montecatini was more ready than us and we didn’t find offensive fluidity. We immediately looked for advantages and on well-constructed shots we weren’t in rhythm. We went down by 13, but we knew we could come back. We have been in contact and we have wasted with some nonsense. These races are decided on the last shot. Especially away from home we need to be more cynical.”
