Germani Brescia, Magro: I want the players to come out of this challenge with their heads held high

The words of coach Magro: “It was an achievement to have brought all these people to the building and as always we felt the warmth of the people and this is a very beautiful thing. Obviously we wanted a different outcome, but to beat a team like Bologna you have to play your best game in attack and defense. Compared to the two previous games played against them this year, tonight we took to the pitch with a different face. We fought. We started very well with the defense on Shengelia and Belinelli. Their second quintet hurt us a lot, especially with Abass who played Belinelli. Polonara also hurt us. We had to leave something and they hurt us. If you shoot 3/18 with Della Valle, Massinbung, Petrucelli and Gabriel it’s difficult. Miro struggled a bit against their physicality and the absence of Mike Cobbins certainly weighed heavily, even if they were missing important players. Belinelli killed the game in the first 5 minutes of the second half. Shuffling the cards a bit we continued the cards. In the last quarter I said don’t look at the score, but we have to look at the things that went well. I want the boys to come out of this challenge with their heads held high and then be ready for the playoffs. In matches like these you need some sparks and today we had fewer of them. I’m happy with my team’s attitude and I saw a team that fought against a team that had more clarity. They punished us in different ways. I’m sorry about the episode. Let’s leave peacefully. We have to stay clear. We know that to win these games you have to have a higher percentage from three. It was a good test. The match started well with the team being very clear, but then you have to be clear for the whole 40 minutes. Energy level makes a difference. What makes the difference in these games is the three-point shot. Nikola Akele is doing very well, but tonight you struggle against Zizic. Miro gives us a lot, but with this physicality he too struggled. We’ve tried them all. Mike Cobbins we know he’s one of our best defenders.”
