THE STATEMENTS
Herman Mandole, Openjobmetis Varese coach: “This has been a week where the team has shown constant improvement; Nonetheless, we are not happy because we lost in Trento too. We highlighted what we did well in order to do it better and what we did wrong in order not to do it again. We want to win and this is the most important thing for us; we know that work pays off in the end, we have to get to tomorrow with the head to win. It will be a difficult match against Trapani because they are a very strong team. We must be ready to fight, both in defense and in defensive rebounding, while when we have possession of the ball, play our attacking game. We must have faith in the system.”
Jasmin Repesa, Trapani Shark coach: “In the last three years, Varese has changed three coaches but has maintained the same playing system, which is rare in Italy, and it is enough to see that they are second in terms of points scored, also because they play at a very high pace. Therefore we understand what type of match awaits us and on our part we need very high concentration, as few turnovers as possible and to get back into the defense well.”
