Coach Lardo’s words on the eve of the game: “We’re concentrated but at the same time excited to start this adventure in the Cup. We’re preparing as best we can, continuing to include Zandalasini and Hines-Allen. We are aware of being in a group with strong teams, starting with Gernika. We’re going to try to give our best, also because the club cares a lot about this competition. We want to be immediately competitive to the maximum of our possibilities. At a physical level we are improving, the girls have a lot of desire and have already shown that we are working well. Our group is tough, with strong teams coming from France and Spain that have an excellent basketball culture. Gernika is a well established team, physical, with players that have been together for a long time. We can’t wait to get on the court, then at Paladozza it’s special.”
