Ducarello: “We put more energy into this and we deserve this victory” Marco Torgano: “Our fans are fantastic”

PAVIA

Riso Scotti makes a city happy, breaking Mestre in race 5. “The team that put the most energy and determination into it won – commented a very happy coach Ugo Ducarello, surrounded by Pavia fans celebrating at the end of the match – but above all he won who put the most heart into it. The guys were immense, they believed in it until the end and brought home an intense match. It is an important step forward for this club, I am very proud to coach these guys because they have become a real group ». Even the captain Marco Torgano, tried by the series, expresses his emotion. «We managed to hold out all the way – underlines Marco – finding difficult baskets with the heart in the key moments of the match. We believed in it a lot, but I also want to congratulate Mestre because it was a wonderful series ». A thought from the Segrate winger to the fans. «I felt the warmth of the supporters from Pavia – continues Marco – what I would like and would like to always hear at the sports hall. We appreciated what they sang, the city deserves it, we still want the fans in the palace for the semifinal ». Two words also from the team manager, Alberto Rai. «It was a super match – explains Rai – it was clear that whoever had a break would have won and we were good at imposing ourselves in the last fraction. They shot very badly from three points, while we greatly raised the level of defensive intensity thanks to the definitive return of Corral. After a low-scoring first half, I had good feelings: Donadoni was devastating today, Torgano was decisive, Sorrentino put his great experience on the field. All very good ». –
