This was Castellana Grotte’s last chance to reach the 8th and last position qualifying for the playoffs, but this motivation seemed insufficient to get the needed result against the Sicilian team of Catania.

“I fell really sorry and I feel badly defeated – said coach Lattari – because I still haven’t managed to understand this team, which works so hard in training. It shows good things in games too but at the same time it loses its will to win and stay in the game for the slightest thing. When I got here, I knew there was something that was not working well and I tried my best to adress this btu Unfortunetaly, and I’m really sorry about itm I haven’t been able to make them understand how important it was to come out of tricky situations as a group rather than as individual athletes”.
