THE STATEMENTS
Jamion Christian, coach of Pallacanestro Trieste: “Our morale is always very high, we work to continue to establish a good competitive environment but at the same time play with passion and joy, and play with real strength. The week was very good and we will continue like this thanks to these guys, their motivation to improve, to help the club to be the best and to pursue our championship goals. We are lucky to have these kinds of people and that they are playing and compete in this way. Brescia is a club that knows things about being competitive, not only in the LBA but regardless of the championship: you can see that they are all focused on winning. A very good team, with very good coaches who have proven to be one of the best teams, so we have to come very prepared. However, we are also strong, so it also applies in their view; This is one good match between you both teams will play it until the end of the championship, so I hope both teams will be ready when the ball comes.”
Giuseppe Poeta, coach Germani Brescia: “A difficult match awaits us, on one of the hottest pitches in Serie A, against a team that offers fast, entertaining basketball with a clear hierarchy. Trieste, as long as it is in full strength, no injuries, giving difficulty to every opponent and one of the healthiest teams in the entire championship. However, some defects led to a period of three consecutive defeats, but it deer the fact that it should not be misleading, because they all happened due to the reduction of staff and, moreover, especially in Trapani and Sassari, competing point by point. Trieste wants to get back on his feet, in front of his fans, after this negative streak and one of the keys is to manage the pace of the race. In addition, we must avoid giving the environment a chance to burn and prevent the talent of their guards.
