CMC Romagna finally knows its next opponent in the Challenge Playoffs quarter-finals. It will indeed be Verona, who eventually bowed out in the deciding game 5 of the league playoffs quarters against Perugia. The series will begin this Saturday in Verona while the return game will be on Wednesday 13.
“Giani’s men have played a lot of games of lat and they managed to win the Challenge Cup – said coach Kantor – But they have spent a lot of physical and mental energy. The series against Perugia was never-ending with various games that went the distance, including the last one yesterday. But I don’t expect them to lack motivation. They have a leader like Kovacevic who not only finds ways to win but also to get his teammates up for it. They have a lot of good players, they’re professionals and always want to win. They’ll be a bit tired, no doubt, but they’ll surely give it a fight”.
