Varese started the championship with two defeats

Not è started in the best way the season of Varese Basketball, which in the first two games of the season, both in the championship, lost to Brescia away and to Tortona in front of the friendly public. Waiting for the Red and White is now Trento, one of the five leading teams in Serie A: a difficult opponent for the team coached by Herman Mandole, although the Argentine coach è confident.

“This week we have worked well,” he said; “we have had no physical problems and I have seen a team with a desire to improve, especially in the defensive aspect, which has become aware of the fact that without defense you go nowhere. The games we lost against Brescia and Derthona taught us this, and all the guys know that by improving in this respect, we can have our say as a team”.

“Sunday against Trento I expect a race with a high pace becauseé they, like us, play fast; I believe that the team capable of making the best defense” will win,” added Mandole, arguing that improvements in defense may be the key to grabbing the first points of the season.

“I have confidence that my guys will be able to play a better game from a defensive standpoint but what is important è that we will have to put our heads together in defensive rebounding, an aspect on which we have particularly focused this week and which, if it works, will increase our winning percentages” he then concluded.

The words of Loris Capirossi

Loris Capirossi spoke about the last MotoGp weekend: “I think it will be a beautiful finale. We have to be honest: è very difficult for Pecco, it must happen that Jorge makes some mistakes, becauseé 24 points gap is a lot. Forò races are always races, anything canò really happen».

“Arithmetically it is not è over. Pecco in Sepang showed that he still believes. And he does well. I think we need to wait until the checkered flag of the real race, becauseé even the Sprint, unless Bagnaia falls, will not decide» nothing».

“Can the challenge between Martin and Bagnaiaò be compared to that between Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, considering they had the same bike? Absolutely sì. They are showing that they have reached a very high level, their challenge is becoming epic. Martin knows he has an almost unique chance, so I think he will be wait-and-see. Pecco, on the other hand, has to bring home the maximum, although it may not be enough”.

“What does Bagnaia have to do, besides having to win races? Have c… In the sense that something has to happen to Jorge. What about Martin? Nothing. he has to stay calm”.

David Luiz bad from the penalty spot

The third match between Flamengo and Atlético Mineiro in the last ten days è ended in a goalless draw at the Maracanã. A little more than 72 hours after the intense Copa do Brasil final, which saw the title go to the Rio team, the formations found themselves back on the field Wednesday, albeit without some representative elements.

In the first half, Flamengo è failed to take the lead only because of opposing goalkeeper Everson. The’Atl’tico’s extreme defender è was also the protagonist in the highlight of the first 45 minutes, when he parried a penalty kicked by David Luiz: slow and predictable the defender’s execution.

In the second half, good chances on both sides. Matheus Gonçalves, for Flamengo, hit the post of the goal defended by Everson. On the other side, Scarpa and Paulinho orchestrated the best attacks by Atl’tico.

In the final minutes, intensity and running gave way to ball possession and long throws into the box. Neither team è managed to unlock the result, which è remained unchanged: zero to zero.
