Parla Spiro Leka

The coach of Carpegna Prosciutto Basket Pesaro, Spiro Leka, introduces the challenge of the seventh day of Serie A2 Old Wild West, in which the red-and-whites will face Alessandro Gentile’s Wegreenit Urania Milano on the court of the Palalido – Allianz Cloud

Two-a-side ball at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26, with live streaming on LNP Pass, live radio commentary on Radio Incontro Pesaro (FM 91.9 for Pesaro, 103 for Urbino and inland areas) and delayed Sunday night at 9:30 p.m. on Rossini TV (digital terrestrial channel 80). Directing the match will be Messrs. Ursi, Giovannetti and Marzulli.

 "During the week we trained with a positive spirit and with the boys eager to redeem the defeat against Verona – says Leka. There are many things to improve, at the level of timing and hierarchies. With the right spirit and the right intensity, I am sure we can do well against a team like Urania, which is a complete lineup with talent, flair and physicality.

"Amato, Gentile, Udanoh, Leggio are players who can hurt the opponents; we will have to be good at limiting their transition and make sure that Gentile, a spearhead, does not become too much of a problem for us. We need to be aggressive on all possessions, equalizing the physicality of the’Urania, trying not to let them run. They come from three losses but è a tough, complete and well-coached" team.
