Germani Brescia in command, coach Cotelli doesn’t hide: "Sent a signal"

Germani Brescia is serious. Thanks to a legendary last quarter, with Burnell (28 total points) and Ivanovic absolute protagonists, Leonessa won on the court of Reyer Venezia (89-74), consolidating the first place in the standings. A victory that confirms how Coach Cotelli’s team aims to be a big player in the race for the Scudetto.

“It was a really intense game, the first two quarters we struggled defensively and lost balls, we tried to fix this at the long break, the third quarter saw us draw a lot of fouls and penalized us, especially our best players, but I have to say that it’s a team victory more than ever this one, today everyone brought their brick, some on defense, some on offense, some being on the bench helping their teammates on the court, I’m proud because every time we show that we play as a team,” Coach Cotelli’s words in the press conference.

A clear message also came to all opponents in view of the Scudetto sprint: “We played a smart game, a signal we give to the championship and to ourselves. MVP Burnell but I must also spend two words for Ivanovic for us is a key player, a metronome, he gives rhythm to the team, he is the brains.”

At this point, it is clear that Germani Brescia knows it has what it takes to try to go all the way. As is well known, both Virtus Bologna and Olimpia Milano, unsuccessful in the Euroleague, are not looking great while Leonessa is doing great.
