European cup final Sunday

“We’re on the eve of Game 2, we’re ahead in the series (3-2 the home leg) and now we want to win that second match – said head coach Giani – We want to win the cup: we have what it takes to do so, we’re up against a very competitive team and the stakes are really high. There will be a lot of concentration, so much motivation and that means this will be a great game with a lot of tension. The Russians have young and physical players, they have the kind of physical attributes that we rarely see in our league. But the good thing about our sport is that you need more than just physical attributes or fundamentals, one important factor is the mind. Story tells us that to win, you have to put together various components. We did it in Game 1, we have to do it again in this return leg”.
