This is coach Ticchi’s comment after the game:
“First game after few training sessions. The start was difficult because we weren’t in rhythm yet, because we still don’t know each other very well, but I really liked the attitude and rhythm. In both halves we found solutions in continuity coming precisely from this attitude.
Obviously, when you have enthusiasm, your percentages increase, and today was no exception, because the three-point shot was the key to the game. If we can keep this rhythm and this enthusiasm, all the players have confidence and are also able to make difficult baskets.
Good feelings from the first game, but it’s only the first step. I’m happy that there were no injuries, because it’s a delicate moment, of loads, and the verve they put on the court makes them want to prove their worth, so for a coach this means a lot.”
