Leonessa Brescia, Della Valle warns Olimpia and Virtus

Germany leads the standings and aims to amaze everyone

After 17 rounds of the regular season, leading the Serie A standings is Germani Basket. A compact team with major ambitions. The goal è is to try to bother the two battleships of Italian basketball, namely Olimpia Milano and Virtus Bologna. Della Valle, one of the pillars of Leonessa, è convinced that we can do well, taking advantage of the many qualities present in the Germani roster.

"Play it with Milan and Brescia? I don’t know about a series of games, although at best of 5 it wouldn’t be as difficult as at 7. At the level of physical size, they have important bodies and we are in deficit. We can focus on a fast game based on shooting from three", his words to Gazzetta dello Sport. In short, the 30-year-old guard è convinced that we can try to put them in difficultyà.

Meanwhile, on the horizon are the Final Eight of the Italian Cup (Turin, Feb. 14-17). Leonessa Brescia è the title holder: "I say right away that making two out of two in the Italian Cup è impossible. This year the overall level of the team è raised with improved signings. At the end of the first round we told ourselves that it had gone well but that we can improve. Having confirmed a core of seven players helps. Forò I think having included players like Bilan and Christon who chew European basketball has facilitated a lot at the level of the game expressed".
