RPA-LuigiBacchi.it Perugia: The 28-26 that sends on holiday RPA-LuigiBacchi.it is still too recent too be able to make a fair and cold analysis. For sure Perugia, the day after the playoff elimination, thinks more about what will come than what just happened.
“I don’t hide the disappoinment – answers Damiano Pippi – because for what we have seen we deserved to reach the tiebreak and then, who knows, we could have conquered game 3. But on the court the result gives reason to Sisley showing once again of being a great team.
In anycase we had a very positive season, after the diffcult moment right after the World Championship, when we lost five consecutive matches, but we got up, recovered and really deserved the 6th position after the regular season. Not a lot of people would have bet on us, furthermore, we play the Playoff almost at the same level of Treviso”. And the future? “There will be some changins, but I hope that the most part of the group will be reconfirmed. Now I will take few holidays days, I will play tennis and buy a Mountain Bike. And if Rome will reach the final I will go to see the match”.
An eye to the season and one to the market for DS Luca Berti. “We did play the last match with our heart, and even if Treviso did just a little bit more than us, they eventually won the match. The season, has been positive anyway even if we carryed with us our long and nevere ending problem: in the crucial moments we are not able to close the points in our favour. It has been like that for the whole season. But, even if we could have make some additional points, the 6th position is a starting point for the future”. Let’s talk about it then. “We are still thinking about how it ended but for sure there are important decisions to be taken. Lebl, will leave as already said, we are discussing the contract of Vujevic, about to expire. Stokr has been a won bet and Sottile replaced very well Toffoli. Further more Pippi has been a crucial figure and he did what we wanted from him.”.
Last words for President Claudio Sciurpa. “On Saturday in Treviso and yesterday we have been very close to the victory, but the bad luck, and some referees decision, did not give us the joy of reaching game three. For sure we are disappointed and sad but we obtained our victory anyway. Bring 3000 people, on Tuesday at the PalaEvangelisti is a huge thing. And tomorrow we will start thinking about the future”.
