Andrea Vicenzutto's point
As usual, the match was introduced by one of Mario Fioretti's assistants. "Not being able to return from Venice with a win is something we're obviously all disappointed about," Andrea Vicenzutto began on the eve of Game 3 against Neven Spahija's team.
“In these days between the two games, we analyzed both of the clashes we had at Taliercio against Reyer, and the boys really showed great attention and great care with all the ideas that we think could help us for Game 3,” he added.
The Juventus assistant coach also revisits the away games against the Granata. "Game 1 and Game 2 were similar, but the technical and tactical aspects that determined the final result were different. We knew before the series that physicality would be the common denominator in all the games we played and that we'll be playing against Reyer," he emphasizes.
“It can only be said that what we expect is an approach without too much overthinking from the entire team: we just want to give everything we have to give,” he says.
"We're obviously happy to be back playing within the walls of the Nova Arena. We know that being intense, focused, and focused for 40 minutes is what will really give us a chance to compete and try to win the game against a tough opponent like Venice," Vicenzutto concludes.
