Varese basketball: Herman Mandole expects a reaction against Olimpia Milano

The Words of Herman Mandole

After the heavy home loss against Germani Brescia, Varese Basketball è awaited by another prohibitive challenge against Ettore Messina's Olimpia Milano, which è returned from the Euroleague success over Panathinaikos. A few days before the challenge at the Forum, the head coach of the red and white Herman Mandole wanted to send a clear message to his boys.

"Against Olimpia we will have to take the court with a definitely different face than in the last game played against Brescia, where we were not present at all. I think the guys have understood that situations like that should not happen anymore, which is why I expect a different game from the character point of view" began the head coach of the red-and-whites.

" You canò win or lose with anyone, but itè is not acceptable not even to show up on the court as è happened against Germani last Saturday. You can not è play without energy; in basketball you can follow different philosophies of play, but if there'è not grit and conviction you will never win" added the coach of the Lombard team.

"The "energy you put on the field è always the most important thing in a game" commented Herman Mandole.
