Lube Banca Marche Macerata: 

ON SUNDAY LUBE BANCA MARCHE – ACQUA PARADISO MONTICHIARI


 

In Montichiari, in the first match, there has been the ankle injury for Ivan Miljkovic that forced the player to stay out for several weeks creating problems also to the whole team. Now the return match is scheduled at the Palasport Fontescodella of Macerata, at 6.00PM. Macerata hopes to get a positive change for the team and start to think about getting precious points in order to reach the play off area at the moment still far away.  “We have to start – Ivan explain – to start the recovery next Sunday. We have twelve matches still to play, and we have to win the largest possible numbers, especially with big teams. With the team coached by Velasco we have to be careful because Montichiari has become a great teams and the results they are getting are a proof of what I am saying. In any case our confidence is not shaking. We won last Wednesday against Levski Sofia let us achieve an important goal in Champions League, recovery from a situation that looked desperate after the first losses of the season. Now we have to do the same kind of task also in the championship. We have the tools and the will to do it and we will do our best to achieve it”.

 

REFEREES – Massimo Menghini and Simone Santi.
