Herman Mandole knows where Varese needs to improve

Varese started the championship with two defeats

Not è started in the best way the season of Varese Basketball, which in the first two games of the season, both in the championship, lost to Brescia away and to Tortona in front of the friendly public. Waiting for the Red and White is now Trento, one of the five leading teams in Serie A: a difficult opponent for the team coached by Herman Mandole, although the Argentine coach è confident.

"This week we have worked well,” he said; “we have had no physical problems and I have seen a team with a desire to improve, especially in the defensive aspect, which has become aware of the fact that without defense you go nowhere. The games we lost against Brescia and Derthona taught us this, and all the guys know that by improving in this respect, we can have our say as a team".

"Sunday against Trento I expect a race with a high pace becauseé they, like us, play fast; I believe that the team capable of making the best defense" will win," added Mandole, arguing that improvements in defense may be the key to grabbing the first points of the season.

"I have confidence that my guys will be able to play a better game from a defensive standpoint but what is important è that we will have to put our heads together in defensive rebounding, an aspect on which we have particularly focused this week and which, if it works, will increase our winning percentages" he then concluded.
