PISA- LELLA PISTOIA 47-42
In Pisa comes the first defeat of the season for Lella Pistoia, who surrenders 47-42 at the end of a match marked by many errors. Thus the positive streak of biancoblu was interrupted, who in the two opening days of the Promotion group C had centered as many successes against Capannori and San Miniato. «We knew there would be a tough match – says coach Alessandro Piperno – It was a strange race, in which the opponents were good at putting us in difficulty in different situations. We didn’t manage the challenge well, neither from a technical nor a mental point of view ».
A false step, that of Pisa, which can teach a lot to the sponsored team Dife. «It will certainly help us in view of the rest of the season – continues Piperno – And I am not referring only to the boys, but also to myself. From Tuesday we roll up our sleeves, ready to start again even stronger with the work in the gym ». In the crosshairs there is already the commitment, always away, with the other team of San Miniato, the Crocetta, which in the last round of the championship lost at the home of the Basket Team ’87. Manfra and associates will be protagonists this Thursday, with the duo ball set for 21.
