Coach Piero Bucchi: “We are 1-1 in the series, the boys are good, good game: this is the beauty of the playoffs that each game is unique. We wanted to go home with a win, tonight’s gives us morale, now we’re going to play in front of our fans. Well done the guys who were very generous. The defence? Good guys at finding spaces and synchronism, we fixed some things from Race 1 doing a good job. It’s only the second challenge but we’re happy tonight.”
Diop: “Today I have to congratulate Stephens because he brought us so much energy in the second half, we must continue like this. Venice is a team of great value and we must continue with this aggressiveness. It’s important for us to defend well and tonight we saw the result of careful defense on the pitch.”
