Faenza –
At the end of the game against E-work Faenza, valid for the 17th day of Techfind Serie A1, these were the words of coach Pierre Vincent: “We played a tough game against Basket Landes and we won it, we played a better Euroleague than last year however we did not qualify by a basket. It depended on us but also on Polkowice and Avenida, which won by one point in Polkowice. We talked about it and I focused on the fact that we have to win the games we have to win. Against Faenza at home we had struggled a lot, today we did very well. The girls worked well and we regained good form after months with a team that was never full. Today the bench gave a good boost in the last part of the game and this will be important for the end of the season.”
Instead, these were the words of Chiara Consolini in the press room: “We brought to the field what we have been working on these months. We knew that Faenza is a team that relies heavily on running and counterattacks, so we tried to contain them as much as possible and we succeeded especially in the last two quarters. I am happy with the team’s collective performance because we come from the elimination in the Euroleague and Italian Cup, which marked us a lot. We have to keep working for the other goals that are left. Now we will have time to rest and train more, with all the traveling and games time has always been short. The next team we will meet is San Martino di Lupari, who beat us in the first leg and it will be a good test.”
