On the sidelines of the defeat of the Shark drills suffered yesterday at PalaDozza in Game 3 against Fortitudo Flats Service Bologna, the Granata Patron Valerio Antonini released some statements promptly published by the Sicilian Club. The President spoke out about the challenge, partially trying to calm things down and lower tensions. At the same time, inviting Trapani fans to remain united despite the defeat. After the statements of the last few days, in particular those relating to his presence or not at PalaDozza, Antonini is in doubt for Game 4, which will be played next Sunday.
Antonini’s statements after Fortitudo – Trapani (64 to 59)
«Congratulations to Fortitudo for the well-deserved victory. We played the worst first two quarters of the year and you can’t give that away in a final and in a stadium like the one we played in tonight. The show created in the stands was extraordinary. It impressed me a lot because it gave me the depth of the very high level to which I brought the team. Moreover, as a favourite, after just 12 months. We are still ahead and we will know how to get out of this situation as best we can. I expect a completely different match on Sunday and an approach worthy of the team that has dominated the A2 championship so far. Only in this way can we win. To the people of Trapani who went to Bologna and to those who saw the match with me in Trapani I say not to give up an inch. We were 2 points away from victory and we still remain 1 game away from Serie A! Let’s believe in it now more than ever».
Race 4 it will be played on Sunday evening, again at PalaDozza, and prices and ticket sales times have already been communicated. Fortitudo will be forced to win again, while Trapani will still have one Match Point available. To then, in case of defeat, move the series back to Sicily. The next challenge looms, once again, at very high intensity.
