Brindisi, Dragan Sakota’s deputy gives ultimatum

The words of Marco Esposito

Marco Esposito, Dragan Sakota’s assistant coach at Happy Casa Brindisi, spoke to 'Il Quotidiano di Puglia' ahead of the challenge against Nutribullet Treviso. "For us è the last chance, if we want to keep thinking of fighting for salvation on Sunday we need to win – he stressed -. There’è no tomorrow, we ve made that clear to the guys".

"There is no other way, we need to beat Treviso to keep us still afloat,” he added. “We are not in a position to make calculations or look at who the opponent is, we need to grind out points and think only and only about ourselves, without looking at the results of the other dangerous teams".

"The pressure è all on our shoulders, we will have to know how to handle it, which did not è happen on Saturday against Sassari where precisely the pressure played its part. And it è was seen by how we took the field. But if we are not good at being able to manage this kind of games, then we can t stay or compete at these levels".

"The’approach becomes critical, all of us, team and staff members, have to be much more ready and have the 'mean' face that it takes in these circumstances. What this kind of approach is then a child of is hard to understand. What happens then is that when you get off to a stuttering start you put the opponent on the spot in confidence and everything becomes much more difficult and complex" concluded Esposito.
