From the press room of the Vitrifrigo Arena, the post match press conference of Alessandro Magrocoach of Germani Brescia: “Definitely a difficult defeat to digest, but we will have to do it, especially for the rankings. Reggio Emilia’s victory in Trieste adds another weight on our path, given that we must be aware that we will play for salvation having to go away to correct but hot pitches like tonight in Reggio Emilia, Naples, Scafati. It takes head, mentality, heart. We approached the game in the right way, putting points on the scoreboard despite some affectedness and a few turnovers too many , and too many free throws left on the street.
We expected a rough and dirty match from both teams, and it was. We had contact in the third quarter, then Pesaro’s last shoulder was decisive thanks to the string of triples they made, running in transition with open shots. We weren’t able to stop their counterattack and then we broke down with Gabriel taking the technique, the back foul on Austin Daye, to whom we conceded nine free throws: all situations we’ll have to work on. Luckily or unluckily, we’ll already be in the gym tomorrow as we already have to get back on the pitch next Tuesday. We’ll try to give minutes to Troy Caupain, who didn’t enter today, and also to Nikolic. We must always have the desire to do the feat, Vuelle has shown that they are a great team.”
