Nicola Brienza spurs Pistoia and warns Treviso

Saturday night Treviso and Pistoia face off at the PalaVerde

.

It will be an important challenge, especially in terms of salvation, on Saturday night (8:30 p.m. double ball) at the PalaVerde in Villorba between hosts Nutribullet Treviso and Estra Pistoia. For Nicola Brienza's red-and-whites, among other things, it's also an opportunity to stay hooked to the Final Eight train, as eighth place is just two points away.

"We have been meeting again since Tuesday, wanting to start again,” Brienza told the official channels of the Tuscan club. “In retrospect, I was not too satisfied with our last two games against Pesaro and Bologna because we could have done better, net of course of Virtus’ strength, and I speak not only for the results but at the level of performance I was not entirely happy".

"Therefore,” he added, “in the gym we tried to make a qualitative step better during the week and let’s see if this will serve" to play at our best in a very important match like the one in Treviso. We will be on the court in the best way to create the conditions to compete in a fiery field and against a team that è in positive streak".

In the first thirteen games of the championship Pistoia had six wins and seven losses: currently the red and white are on a losing streak, given the two consecutive knockouts against Pesaro and Virtus Bologna, but previously they had managed to get four wins in a row against Dinamo Sassari, Olimpia Milano, Napoli and Tortona.
