Brescia. We do not begin this article with the chronicle of Germani’s home defeat against Pesaro, which came at the last moment with a daring 98-97, but with the words of coach Alessandro Magro when he commented on the match: “I don’t want to be misunderstood and for this I give Pesaro the merits of coming here and playing until the last second, making an important offensive performance. Recognizing this thing, I just say that we have to apologize to those who paid for the ticket and to those who pay us. I take full responsibility for this defeat ”.
A bitter comment, certainly provoked by the unfortunate way with which the triple despair of the guests at the last moment entered, carambulating on the table before slipping into the basket (thanks to Cheatam and the basketball gods who helped him), but a comment also caused by a whole game other than brilliant of the hosts, perhaps tried by the too close commitments between the championship and the EuroCup. As if to say: if Pesaro – a team absolutely within our reach – arrived at the last second, one shot from victory, it is because we let it get there, not doing our job well in the rest of the match.
Above all, the defensive attitude is under firebecause to suffer 98 points on their parquet comes from a match in which the players from Brescia were too distracted and, perhaps, listless in their own half.
So Brescia lost important points, which we will probably regret in the final phase of the championship, when the accounts for the playoffs will be made, but the fool in front of your audience must be immediately erased from memory given that on Tuesday evening at the PalaLeonessa A2A the French from Bourg-en-Bresse will arrive, still unbeaten and first in the standings in the EuroCup group.
