Varese basketball, Marco Legovich warns Virtus Bologna

The words of Marco Legovich in view of Virtus Bologna-Pallacanestro Varese 

Pallacanestro Varese assistant coach Marco Legovich spoke to the club official channels ahead of the challenge against Virtus Bologna, scheduled for Sunday at 7 p.m. at the 'Segafredo Arena'. "We come from the home success against Pistoia, a difficult match against an opponent that, as we knew, è came to Masnago very prepared throwing on the parquet everything they had – he stressed -. We were good at staying in the game until the last, when we managed to have the winning breakthrough thanks also to some individual play in attack; defensively we were stubborn in finding some adjustments that redirected the game on our side as evidenced by the only 9 points conceded.

"The good thing è that we finished the match on a crescendo,‖ he added; -we know that there are still many things to put in place, but we are only at the beginning of the championship so we had budgeted for it. For me and for many of the boys it was the first time at home and è it was an exciting and electrifying evening; the crowd literally dragged us to the victory giving us a big boost, especially in the defensive half".

Then he è expressed himself on the team from Bologna: "Sunday we will go to play in Bologna against Virtus on a certainly very difficult court against what is currently è perhaps the best Italian team having recently won the Supercup and having held its own against a tough lineup like Zalgiris in its Euroleague season opener. I think that more than thinking about the opponent we will face, right now it is more important to continue our path of growth; in training we are working on improving our offensive and defensive system and finding an identity.

"We have to focus on ourselves, on imposing our game and improving day by day; of course it won’t be an improvement that will happen in one game, but we have to do it consistently. This è our primary goal. We will have to play openly without reverential fears expressing great physicality on the court; because we are playing against the best and to compete against the best we will need a physical performance and great energy expressing on the parquet, for more minutes than we did against Pistoia, our identity," concluded Legovich, warning the bianconeri.
