Marco Pistolesi (General Manager Bre Banca Lannutti Cuneo): “I’m convinced Piacenza will give everything it has to get back in the series, it would be wrong to think otherwise. They have quality players such as Meoni, Bravo, Zlatanov and Bjelica and we know they will give hundred percent to keep playing for a place in the semi-final. Our team is fine. Just a few physical worry, but totally normal at this point of the season”.


 


Marco Meoni (CoprAtlantide Piacenza): “Our situation is extremely complicated. We are very disappointed not to have won on Monday at the PalaBanca, because Thursday’s game becomes our last chance. We’ll definitely try to make it as difficult as possible for our opponent. Sport is terrible, but as long as it’s not over, it offers a chance to turn things around. If we maintain a good level of play, things won’t be easy for them either”.
