The words of Massimiliano Allegri

Massimiliano Allegri spoke in a press conference ahead of Lazio-Juventus: “We have to be focused on the end of the season. We threw away so many points we had on the fifths. Now we have to be realistic. We only scored 13 points in the second half of the season and we have 9 games to consolidate Champions League qualification. Then there’è also the Italian Cup to play. Now we only think about that. I am happy that the club has confirmed its trust in me, but I had no doubts about that. Becauseé anyway with the societyé we are working and the societyé is planning what è the future. Now forò we have to be focused on the present. Ità will be tough in the final rush becauseé we have several direct clashes and we have lost so many points on the pursuers”

“In soccer you also live from these moments. We have to get back up and get results that will lead us to the Champions goal. The boys have to stay calm and peaceful. So far we have scored 59 points badly distributed between the first leg and the second leg, but I have nothing to reproach the team for. Now forò we have to come back and do something more to regain results and enthusiasm in the final part of the season. Many young people have grown up and also some more experienced players. There’è will to work. The team has never stopped trying to do well. In the last competitions we have not been able to do well and it should serve as a stimulus for us to do well in the last games”

“Scanavino’s words pleased me because heé represents the societyà. Criticism should always be accepted, especially in these moments. In soccer è this is how it is: if you win you are a good guy if you don’t win…. In soccer results count and we have done less in the second half of the season. Thirteen points are few. Soccer però always gives you the chanceà to overturn everything. We have to make sure that what is now è black becomes white. Juve must play in the Champions League next year. It’s a goal that must not elude us”.

Jasmin Repesa, coach of the Trapani Shark, gave a lengthy interview to ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’. “I came here to challenge myself, because there was a very young, very ambitious project – he began -. A city that likes basketball, a president who provided an important budget, and a fan base that made us feel their support right away. And the team has responded well on the court. I am satisfied with what we have done so far”.

The newly promoted Granata are currently first in the LBA standings, along with Brescia and Virtus Bologna: “I never thought that far ahead. But I was confident. I am convinced that there is everything, or almost everything, to be very competitive, we have proven it. We are a team that can play good basketball, and we have become one of the most entertaining. People want to see basketball like we are playing”.

“Team success comes first – added the Croatian coach. “We have embraced this philosophy from day one, with so many players who have been real stars in the past at different clubs. It is the only way if we want to be really competitive”.

“There are six games left and the playoffs will be another competition. Surprises can always happen, it depends on a thousand factors: how you get there, whether you have luck or bad luck, whether there are injuries or not. We just have to keep improving and growing. In the season finale we have strong opponents waiting for us, with much more experience, much more tradition, but certainly not hungrier than us. Our advantage is having so many players who have made themselves available for the common result. This is our strength” Repesa concluded.
