Daniele Parente (basketball coach Trapani): “We played an excellent game for 35 minutes but then we repeated the same mistakes as Treviglio when we gave up our heads, stopped playing and refused open shots. We conceded too much in easy situations but, despite our limitations and absences, we made our game plan. This defeat must represent an important step in our growth path. We have to raise our level of play for 40 minutes and we have to learn to be more concrete, especially by capitalizing more when we are ahead ”.
Gennaro Di Carlo (coach Staff Mantova): “Congratulations to Trapani as she managed to play evenly despite the many absences. We were good at respecting our match plan, reading the key moments of the match and we stretched when it was time to give the decisive break. We have capitalized the most from these two trips to Sicily but now we must not disperse this small booty as early as next Sunday at home “
