Sassari-Pesaro, the presentation with Bucchi and Devecchi

Press conference to present the match against Pesaro in the club house

Analysis initially entrusted to Captain Jack Devecchi:

“Sunday’s is an important match, in an important phase of the championship. All the teams have taken a step forward, the level of basketball has risen and in fact that is also what Bucchi asked us for this week.

Pesaro is having an important season, it is 4th in the championship and has also given a hard time to the battleships. He plays with confidence and wants to continue on the road to the Coppa Italia.

We want to make our home games ours, playing with our fans must be something more. We’ve had no continuity for 40 minutes and need to start looking for it.”

How are you experiencing the situation with your classmates??

It’s a different situation, we’ve always been used to being a few steps above the table. Last season was similar to this year, we managed to qualify last minute in the Coppa Italia and play the playoffs. We had some difficulties. Gerald’s absence on Sunday was felt. Piero is doing everything to repair these mishaps. We know the importance of the next games and we know that the last two league games in Bologna and Milan will be very tough, so it becomes essential to win at home”

It’s a special league

It’s a strange and delicate championship, it doesn’t take much to enter the 8 who will play the playoffs or to fall in the standings. We need to be aware of the key matches in the coming weeks and we need to make the most of the chances. The average level is high and the entry fee for the Coppa Italia has risen. We are working every day to find continuity and solidity.

The important thing is to find continuity, Gerald’s absence has been felt, we have seen that in the last few games he has managed to give everyone a rhythm, and as I said we are working to find continuity. The trick is that we have to be solid for 40 minutes and that’s what we’ve always lacked, otherwise he risks continuing to float in the middle of the table and losing his goals for the season.

Coach Piero Bucchi then takes the floor:

“Pesaro is a team that immediately found a balance and got off to a very good start. He has many certainties, we have to be good at finding the right energy that we lacked in Naples.

We are a team that has gone through continuous insertions and injuries, I counted three full games, it’s not an excuse, there have been more fortunate years and this is an aspect that penalizes.

Robinson?

Yesterday he raced, we are evaluating day by day, we don’t want to take risks but at the same time we hope there will be

The championship?

“It’s a very balanced championship, there’s a greater distribution of hierarchies, of teams that can win with anyone. The average level has risen, the fact of losing in Naples is not a scandal, every match is different, it is clear that we need to find continuity in victories but in this championship it is difficult

Winning at home is very important indeed it is fundamental.”

Considerations about Pesaro?

It’s a team that has also found different balances, it has many good players, it also has interesting players on the bench. From the outset they found a good balance and allowed them to be among the first in the first round
