After the external knockout against Trento, Dinamo Sassari will try to resume its run toward a playoff spot on the road against Happy Casa Brindisi, which needs points to shorten on the salvation zone. A few days before the challenge, the head coach of the islanders Nenad Markovic wanted to carefully analyze the competition that awaits his boys.
"We face a team that is fighting to stay in the top league, plays very well, has added three new players to the quintet and canò count on a very experienced coach. We have a very tough challenge ahead of us. I hope that we will go to Brindisi with a different mentality than the one we showed against Trento, because at the level of intensity they put us in great difficulty." began the head coach of Dinamo Sassari.
"In trento we started the game badly and we suffered throughout the game their physicality; and even when we came back we è lacked that step to be able to close the gap. We need to work on our mistakes and what didn’t work before we focus on our opponents. We will have to go to Brindisi with a great fighting spirit, because theyè are an excellent team with great talent and if we want to win we have to think that it will be a battle" continued the islanders’ coach.
"We have the same confidence, chemistry and style of play as in the last month, we have to immediately turn the page and focus on trying to win the next game. Regardless of playing home or away, we have to take the field with the right mindset and stay focused for the entire 40'" added the Bosnian coach.
"Jefferson partially performed the last training session. He will be available, but I don't know yet how many minutes he has in his legs. Bendzius, on the other hand, is training with the team, however; è è he is still far from being ready to play and I am not going to deploy him until he is back to 100 percent" concluded Nenad Markovic regarding the condition of the U.S. guard and Lithuanian big forward.
