Qualifying as the eighth seed for the Final Eight of the Italian Cup scheduled at the Inalpi Arena in Turin from February 18 to 22, APU Udine will play without the pressure of the favorites and will try, already in the quarterfinal against Germani Brescia (which instead will have the spotlight since it entered the table from first in the standings at the end of the first round), to surprise fans and insiders. Among the protagonists of the good season of the Friulian club there&#8217s a son d’art, Mirza Alibegovic, former among others just of Brescia, who is living at 33 years old a starring season in the top league.

Udine had started with two losses in the second half of the season, but thanks to a basket at the end of the season by Teo’s son, it tasted success again, beating Tortona 80-79 in last weekend’s game. The focus, shortly, will shift to the competition that gives the winning club the tricolor rosette. “We will try to be the surprise in the Italian Cup” Alibegovic told Corriere dello Sport, who thus warns his old club but does not forget, at the same time, the championship commitments starting with the one against Sassari on Sunday, Feb. 8.

“We are thinking about the Sardinians – he said, bluntly, referring to the Serie A contest -, because for us it could be the game of the season”. Udine, after seventeen games played, is in a small group of three teams that also includes Napoli and Vanoli Cremona, at the tail end of the playoff zone. A qualification to the postseason would be a great satisfaction for a player who, by choice, has played most of his career in Serie A2, gaining promotion right with Brescia in 2016, as well as with Udine in 2025.

“I did not choose the showcase but the prospects – explained Alibegovic, reflecting on his professional choices -I am happy, proud of what I decided and I would do the same again. Turin, Tortona, Cremona great places. And now Udine, with President Pedone’s desire to emerge. I am very satisfied and I really believe I still have a lot to say”.

The goal of the Bosnian-born basketball player, but a citizen of both Italy and the United States, is clear: “The people who follow us, the Friulians, are competent and full of passion. Our task is to entertain them by trying to give them as much satisfaction as possible. Difficult mission? Maybe, but complicated things do not scare us”.
