Coach Alessandro Magro’s Statement:
"We're ready for our second away game of the season. We're coming off a week of hard work and analyzing the things that went less well against Trieste. The team is working well, and we're eager to bounce back, because we know we're not far from performing at even higher levels and achieving our first win of the season. It would give us enormous feeling and satisfaction for the quality of the work we're trying to do together, but above all, it would bring our new club and our fans their first win. It will be an hard match, on a court that can be really hot. We both have a 0-2 record, so we expect a game with high pressure and expectations on both sides. We're playing against a very strong team, who have decided to build a roster made up of players who are not new to Europe and Italy. Ragland is the go to guy, who controls most of the possession, Pinkins, Olisevicius, Abdur-Rahkman, and Chillo, veteran players in this championship. We're ready to face a team that knows its identity, knows how to be very productive in offence, and is coached by a coach I know very well and have great respect for. I wish him all the best for the rest of the championship, starting with the next matchday, obviously remembering the great result he achieved with the Italian Under-20 national team, winning the European championship."
