Reyer Venezia, De Raffaele tough: “Silence and head down.”

Venice came out of the match against Varese with a score of 93-90. Coach De Raffaele analyzed the defeat this way in the postgame: “For our part it was a game with two faces: the first two quarters were quite soft from the point of view, especially defensively, in which we let Varese attack. In the third and fourth quarters, on the other hand, we made a more present, more physical contest, which then led us to have the inertia in our hands on +5, committing, however, quite banal mistakes throughout the game.”

“Looking at the statistics, in the end the analysis is very simple: the difference was in the lost balls, some by us, some taken right out of our hands, and the offensive rebounds for second opportunities, because Reyes really hurt us, creating open shot situations that turned the inertia around once again. So credit to Varese, who once again managed to play a great game in front of this audience, while we have to keep working quietly and with our heads down,” De Raffaele concluded.
