The words of Paolo Galbiati
In the 18th round of Serie A basketball, Aquila Basket Trento will host top-seeded Trapani in a direct clash for the top of the standings. A few days before the challenge at the T Quotidiano Arena (which is heading for its seventh consecutive sold-out), the coach of the bianconeri Paolo Galbiati, among the various topics discussed in the press conference, dwelt on the key aspects in order to take revenge on the team coached by Jasmin Repesa, who won the round of the first round.
"Trapani è a well-coached team with very talented players and a united group with a strong team spirit. The work of Repesa è evident and gave great identity to his roster, which è also grew a lot from the defensive point of view, thanks to its physicality à and aggressiveness " began the head coach of Aquila Basket Trento.
"In the first game we were not attentive enough on defense, so we will definitely have to do better under this aspect and offer a great performance in front of our audience. To take the rematch it will beà essential to control rebounds and have a solid defensive transition to not allow them to run and take high percentage shots" added the native of Vimercate.
"The seventh consecutive sold out è something special, sinceé a wonderful atmosphere is being created with our fans, who are following us in large numbers even on the road. Even on Tuesday, in a game that did not matter for the standings, to see the arena so full è was great. I thank them becauseé their support gives us; an incredible boost" Paolo Galbiati" commented.
In addition to the head coach, Jordan Ford also spoke at the press conferenceè he wanted to charge teammates and fans ahead of the big match: "I think the game against Trapani will be electric, with another sold out and an’incredible atmosphere. I am sure our fans will give us a big boost. In the’first leg they got the better of us, so this challenge will also be important in terms of the standings, in case of an eventual tied finish.
We know they are a strong team, with very talented players, and we will have to be focused to face a match that could have the’intensityà of a playoff match. It’ll be crucial to pay attention to defensive transition, avoiding the mistakes made in the first game. I expect a challenge with a’playoff intensity and a spectacular match".
