Nicola Brienza casts an eye over the rankings

Nicola Brienza casts an eye on the standings. “We finish the first round two points behind the first and so now we have the return to fight like crazy” says the Canturino coach after the victory of’Acqua S.Bernardo with Nardò.

"I’m very happy with this win becauseé I had asked the team to try to make a superlative performance on defense and for several stretches of the game we succeeded. Everyone brought their brick, but I want to spend two words on Piccoli and Riismaa, who gave the signal to their other teammates, who then did well to do the same, about the kind of game we should have played. Today was a day when, objectively, we were in a special condition and we knew we would struggle".

" We actually played without guards, becauseé Moraschini gritted his teeth today but he wasn't even supposed to be in the game and the idea was therefore to win it defensively. We did an excellent job on Woodson, who has had very good games this season, and instead we managed to force him to have bad percentages, creating the conditions to win. Then è clearly, if we had been better in some moments, we could have controlled the score better. Overall è it was the game we should have played; therefore, I have to congratulate all the boys".
