Coach Caja: "A game of heart, ready for the challenge in Desio"

It was another game where the boys gave everything they had, with a great desire to win it – underlines coach Attilio Caja –. We were ahead for 39'. We played a game with great heart and we were good at managing the foul problems we had. We accept the referee's yardstick, even if we feel unprotected. The referees do their best and can make mistakes. I hope that Desio there will be the refereeing that they had today. In Desio in 2' Mian already had 2 fouls.

Statements that counterbalanced the words of coach Brienza, who was anything but satisfied with the refereeing. "An excellent team performance and in defense we closed the area well – says Caja –. We go to Desio knowing that we will play our cards even if they have the advantage of the home field advantage. We start 50-50, but we will play it. Freeman he played a great match both in front and behind, he had a rating of 30, while for Fantinelli the final basket is the right reward for his dedication".

Caja returns to the refereeing contested by his colleague from Brianza. "I respect his opinion, I speak objectively of numbers, 27 fouls against 19. I think we have technically some things to improve. We are ready to play and we are confident in what we do. They are serious guys, they prepare well and there is confidence in the fact that they can do it".

Then he talks about Mian, Aradori e Bolpin. "The job will be to keep them shooting, they are capable of doing it and there will be no problem. We will continue to play for them, giving them confidence. Mian will play, as will Aradori, they are our offensive cardinals. If it is a bad day there will be no complaints because they will have done their best".
