The patron of Trapani Shark Valerio Antonini spoke to TeleSud after the victory in Game 3 in Verona which brought coach Andrea Diana’s team to the final: “A great victory in what I believe was the most beautiful and important match this year. An extraordinary satisfaction because for the first once realized in such a sensational way the greatness of this team, with truly top-level players. I won’t mention names so as not to belittle the others, this is the victory of everyone who played yesterday it was a demonstration of unity and unity of purpose. Everything we told our fans is coming true, I must say also in a sensational way with clear results, victories after victories. And today we are three victories away from Serie A which represents an incredible dream for Trapani, unimaginable until a few months ago.
Today, however, it is there, within reach, we are starting to touch it, knowing that it will be very difficult against a historic opponent against, I imagine, Fortitudo Bologna (ahead 2-0 in the semi-final ed.). But we are aware that we are the team to beat, we have been since the beginning of the championship. I can guarantee you that winning like we are doing is not something normal, but it is extraordinary. And win knowing you have all eyes on you, the pressure on you. Now we all have to make an extra effort, stay behind these guys, we are close to a historic goal. Trapani has been waiting for this moment for over 30 years. It only took 12 months for it to materialize in such a major way. We are all daydreaming but with that touch of reality, of truth that makes everything so magnificent and spectacular.”
