Pistoia, Nicola Brienza sends message to Brindisi
The words of Nicola Brienza on the eve of the challenge against Happy Casa Brindisi
.
Coach Nicola Brienza presented the challenge against Happy Casa Brindisi in a press conference: "The team is fine. Varnado è was down all the first part of the week and, following that, we had a flu problem with Ogbeide back in the gym for this morning’s refinement before leaving for Puglia. Reason why, by mutual agreement with the club, we decided to have Basile come with us as well to be cautious depending on how the guys will be and before the match we will figure out who will go on the field".
"Sport è always strange – added the coach of the biancorossi – you live by emotions and results: from these, then, also derive the choices made. We must not forget that Brindisi is not è a team built to be in the position where è: twenty days ago, not six months ago, they were playing the final to enter the Champions League and, as the days went by, they had the misfortune to find themselves with a few too many injuries but, despite this, there are still nine effective players against us of a remarkable level, demonstrating the importance of the roster. They missed games and the company’made that choice but we must not forget what their idea of the season was only twenty days ago and that they built the roster assuming a certain kind of path. To date we are united only by the fact of not having victories, then stop: we must remember this, always. We will go to their home and they will want to redeem themselves in front of their public, so I expect an emotional reaction from a team that è hurt but wants to get back up. We are però ready, knowing that it could be a game similar to the one we experienced against Scafati".
“Every situation, for us, è a new experience that is good for us, in that game lì people like Logan, Gentile or Pinkins responded as champions. Similarly, in Brindisi I expect a JaJuan Johnson who can take additional responsibility; or a player like Morris who will want to redeem himself. We will try, until the end, for sure we have a great desire and we are ready. It’ October, it’ s not yet decisive but it’ s obviously an important match, considering moreover; Brindisi a team that has lost four games and does not belong to our level" concluded Brienza.
