Virtus Bologna’s knockout doesn’t scare Achille Polonara

A defeat welcomed without much drama.

Virtus Bologna knocked out against Germani Brescia, which è imposed itself 101-96 in the game valid for the Ferrari Trophy that even ended in overtime. The defeat of his team does not frighten però Achille Polonara, who indeed welcomes the fact that he played a few more minutes; in this phase of preparation for the most onerous commitments of the season.

"Our victory did not è arrive, but on our part there's been a good effort – said Polonara at the end of the game, at the microphones of 'TRC' -. Among other things, we played in full emergency, we were full of absences and injuries. We are confident, we faced a great team that deserved to beat us, but now we just have to focus on the Super Cup".

"A little bit of tiredness è normal, at this stage of the season – added Polonara -. But that is precisely why it is convenient to play five more minutes. We are tired, è normal. We need some time to get to 100 percent. When we take the court, however, we always give it our all".

"We still have to see Virtus Bologna full, but already I understand that from everyone there's a desire to work well together and win a lot. The hope, now, è to find us all together as soon as possible", concluded Polonara.
