Brescia challenges Milan, Alessandro Magro does not forget
Alessandro Magro charges his team ahead of game-1 against Olimpia Milano
After beating Estra Pistoia in three games and thus gaining access to the Scudetto semifinals, Germani Brescia is about to face the No. 2 seed in the table, Olimpia Milano, which instead eliminated Trento 3-1 in the quarterfinals, reversing the unexpected defeat in game 1. The first match between biancazzurri and meneghini will be staged at the Unipol Forum in Assago, Saturday at 8:45 p.m.
"It's a source of great pride and satisfaction that we have earned this chance – said Germani Brescia coach Alessandro Magro to the club's official channels. “We lost in Milan obviously with two teams that will not be the same on the court on Saturday, we were missing Semaj Christon and they were missing Mirotic".
The coach born in 1982 has not forgotten that defeat at all and, referring to it, explained: "I remember very well what I said to my boys after the defeat namely: 'We have one game left to finish the regular season then we want to earn the chance to come and challenge the champions on their court'. That must be the’attitude we want to have".
"In the playoff series there will be at least three games, so it will be interesting to see what will happen in game 1, how we will be able to withstand the impact of the Italian champions away from home and from there on what we will have to do to grow during the series,” Magro added again. “We will be full and all the players will be available even if not at 100 percent".
"We all deserved, the city", the club, the players and the staff the chance to continue to enjoy the journey. So with a big smile on our lips and with great confidence and great humility; let us continue to dream and enjoy the journey" then concluded the technician, who from 2021 holds the position of head coach of the white and blue club.
