San Martino di Lupari (PD), October 28 –
At the end of the game against San Martino di Lupari, valid for the fifth day of Techfind Serie A1, these are the words of coach Vincent: “It was not an easy game, we could not adapt to this level of aggressiveness. In the first part we suffered a lot, we have a team that shoots a lot, I explained before the game that in these environments and with these teams you cannot play like that. We suffered without paying for it against Faenza, tonight was much tougher. We have to adapt and it took us the whole first half of the game to do so. The good thing is that with this defeat we could adapt for the future. I’m really sorry about the technical foul, I feel like you can’t talk to referees. I asked because I didn’t understand what the girl did to receive a technical and I couldn’t answer, on the other side it’s different and I’m sorry about it. We play every three days, now there is the national team window, there are no breaks and we play with little practice, it is important to adapt in a short time.”
These are the words of Beatrice Del Pero after the match: “I would like to congratulate San Martino because they played a perfect game despite missing an important foreigner for them. We knew it was not easy to come and play here, it is a tough court and they always put so much aggression. We tried to get them back in the second half, but when you start a game like that mentally it’s not easy. We went into the locker room knowing what we had to do, but their aggressiveness put us in trouble and we try to build on our mistakes to face the next game. We come from a defeat in France where the problem was the same as in this game, the approach, we had also started badly on Wednesday. We know it’s a weakness we have to work on, playing two games a week is never easy but it doesn’t have to be an excuse, let’s try to restart. Wednesday we have an important game at home and we want to make up for it.”
