Matteo Cotelli wary of Udine: "Hostile and growing"

Reduced from Desio’s painful success with Cantù, Germani Brescia hosts APU Old Wild West Udine for the 17th day of the Lega Basket Serie A championship. Kickoff Sunday at 7 p.m. at the A2A PalaLeonessa.

“We are expected to have a complicated game. Udine is a tough, healthy lineup and, in recent games, has been able to put opponents in trouble in several respects. Compared to the competition played along the first round, we face a different team thanks, not only to the inclusion in the roster of two new pieces, but also due to a growth of the entire collective, which has found a clear identity of play”.

“The addition of Semaj Christon has been an added value and he has quickly become the main reference point for all his teammates and it will be important to try to limit his potential. I am sure that Udine will come to Brescia with the intention of performing the best possible performance and, trying to express their basketball, seek victory. Our main goal is to keep the A2A PalaLeonessa inviolate, leveraging over the court factor and the crowd”.

“It will be crucial to have, from the start, a serious approach and a flow of offensive play that has the correct spacing in the offensive zone, while, on the defensive end, we will have to be good at taking away easy solutions from them.”
