All the good and bad of the playoffs. The adrenaline rises and the attention is maximum because in the post season in four days or a week we decide what will be remembered in the roll of honor. In this sense, tomorrow’s match between Tinet Prata and Kemas Lamipel Lupi Santa Croce is, for the Gialloblù, the most classic of “inside or outside” matches: continue to pursue the dream of the Superlega or take your leave by taking the applause of the PalaPrata for a great season, the best ever for Prata. However, this second hypothesis is absolutely not taken into consideration by the whole gialloblù world. Of course, the defeat in game 1 burns and puts the Passerotti with their backs to the wall, but there is the belief that this Tinet has the technical weapons and temperament to overturn the result and continue the series. On the other hand, the pitch showed how the difference between the two teams is fleeting and Santa Croce was good at managing the points better in the decisive moments. Lucid direction by Coscione and excellent performance by the opposite Matheus Motzo who trailed his team with 23 points, together with a solid Hanzic and the Spanish Vigil Gonzalez, almost perfect in the first half.
“We returned with great regret from Santa Croce – is the thought of Coach Dante Boninfante – because the gap was really minimal. We could certainly have done a little more in attack, but I am heartened by the fact that we had an excellent match in batting and receiving. We know these are the playoffs and we were expecting a match like this. Tomorrow we already have the chance to redeem ourselves and take the series to Game 3. Our expectations are to grow and improve the quality of play compared to that expressed on Sunday. We don’t have much time to train, but that can also be a good thing when you come from a defeat. We are confident for this match, we trust in the warmth and support of our arena and I’m sure we will sell our lives dearly”.
