Bologna –
These are the declarations of coach Giampiero Ticchi in the post-game: “We knew it was going to be a tough, physical game, just like it is in Coach Ballardini’s characteristics, who always manages to transmit that extra gear to his teams. We with some defections struggled to find the rhythm so we decided to target Kunaiyi in the centre of the area and when she started to have problems with fouls we iced the game.
The high morale gives us a lot of confidence and a high spirit. On Wednesday we will certainly struggle, but we aim to make up for our defections, because with a full squad we can compete in difficult matches away from home.”
Francesca Pasa commented on her MVP performance as follows: “I feel good and I’m happy with the performance and how the team is growing, how united we are as a group, match after match. Now we have commitments that are by no means easy and so we will have to work very hard to be ready, without underestimating anyone as the end of the season is not far away: we definitely want to close in the best possible way.”
