Brescia visits Varese, Magro spots number one danger

The words of Magro on the eve of Germani Brescia-Pallacanestro Varese

Coach Alessandro Magro presented the challenge between Pallacanestro Brescia and Openjobmetis Varese in a press conference: "Varese’s court usually indigestible for us in recent years and è definitely a difficult game. They have lost the last 2 games in the league, and they definitely need to make a win especially at home where they can certainly perform more convincingly thanks also to the boost of their public".

So he identified the number one danger of the red-and-whites: "They brought back to Italy a player of Mannion’s caliber, who took over the team right away, plays a lot of possessions and è is able to be a factor from a scoring standpoint both in terms of points scored and fouls incurred and assists he can make. They have a fairly modern system in the sense that they rely so much on the pace of the game, they try to shoot in the early seconds of the possession and they try to turn up so much the number of shots and the pace of the game".

" We will have to expect a high-tempo, high-scoring game, but we will have to be good not to fall into the trap of following that pace of the game too much,” added the Lombardi’s helmsman. “It will be a challenge within a challenge, we want to believe in the system that has allowed us to get this far, we know that it has paid huge dividends and we absolutely need to find a victory again. We have the desire to get back to winning away from home, becauseé we would like to regain that minimum of confidence for the things we are doing".

"We come from a period where we have worked well and unfortunately have picked up little. There’è è the desire to return to play two crucial games at home with Tortona and Venice with the confidence that a game like this could give us knowing that it will be a full-handed game, where we will have to have the abilityà especially mental not to get upset when difficult 3-point baskets will also come but becauseé è their way of playing. We will have to be solid and consistent over the 40 minutes to try to impose our game and try to attack in their weak points" he concluded Magro.
