Germani Brescia, Matteo Cotelli didn't expect it
Coach Matteo Cotelli could not have asked for better for the start of his adventure on the Germani Brescia bench. “I honestly never thought I would do so well – admitted the coach of the biancoblù to the microphones of ‘BresciaOggi’ -: we know the value of the team, we know what we did last season, however, I did not expect that already at the beginning of the season Germani could be so performing”. The Lombardy team leads the LBA regular season standings, along with Virtus Bologna, with 16 points, the result of as many as eight wins and only one – narrow defeat – away from home against the Trapani Shark.
“Unconsciously there might have been the thought of having a full belly after last year–s ride – added the Germani coach, protagonist of a season to remember in which it surrendered only to Virtus Bologna in the LBA playoffs scudetto final -. And in this respect restarting from the 2024/2025 season roster could have been a boomerang, with the risk that the team would tend to relax too much. Instead, as we hoped, restarting from the same players was just a big plus. The’only risk, but it’s only a small boomerang, is to overdo it in the’excess.”
“It has been a really, really good few months for me, fully experienced: it has given me great happiness. They are already the past, though. I am not saying that now we have to reset everything, but we have to be ready for what awaits us after the break” in which Brescia will take on UNA Hotels Reggio Emilia in one of the two early games of the tenth day of Serie A Unipol. “The level of the league will go up again and we will face more ready opponents. My main goal is that the team can continue to play this basketball and can be up to the next challenges that will be important. Head to Reggio Emilia: this is the only thing that really matters” Cotelli concluded.
