The keys to the women’s Reyer victory against Schio
The comment from Andrea Mazzon, Reyer women’s coach: “It was very nice today to play in an environment like this. One of the things we asked the girls was that those who came to the games and those who cheered for this team should be proud of their commitment, dedication and desire to fight.”
“I must say that it is clear and important to have won, however, there was truly great energy, a strong awareness in not accepting a defeat and not throwing yourself on the balls and fighting. This spirit rewarded us in the end. Five in double figures, 23 rebounds for Shepard which is the record in the history of women’s basketball in a championship final. But, apart from the numbers, the very important thing was the ability to make an impact when we were at -10.”
Dikaioulakos criticizes the refereeing but recognizes the merit of Venice
The words, however, of the coach of Famila Wuber Schio, Georgios Dikaioulakos: “First of all I would like to say that these are the finals, therefore, the referees should be impartial and blow the whistle 50-50 equally from one half of the pitch to the other and This evening I don’t think that was the case.”
“In any case, I don’t want to take credit away from Venezia because he played better than us, especially in the third and fourth quarters, especially dominating in rebounds. Then, we got a bit confused from a mental point of view. But Venezia deserved to win and now we focus on the next match.”
