Reyer Venezia, Mazzon presents the EuroCup Women challenge
Coach Mazzon presented to our microphones the debut of the female Umana Reyer in Eurocup Women scheduled for Thursday 27 October at 19.30 at the Palasport Taliercio against the Spanish Estudiantes.
“We are very curious and look forward to this match with the right tension. The fact that none of the girls has experience of EuroCup or double commitment seasons must become a huge stimulus and never a limitation. We are one of the teams to have point guards who have never participated in the cups and have never played two games a week. But we are convinced, as in the construction of the team, that although they are novices they should not have too many setbacks, on the contrary I think they will guide us very well towards the top 32.
In basketball, both men and women, Spain is the dominatrix of the last summer, from the youth to the major national teams, having won 90% of available medals. And it is by far the strongest league in Europe. But precisely because we have a difficult group, with two Spaniards, we can reap enormous benefits for the future. If we manage to overcome these caudine forks, this will help us for the year. We must expect this from Estudiantes a completely different speed from what we are used to, a great 3-person capacity and therefore it is clear that with high-level teams we cannot give away possessions with unforced errors and we must limit the second shots. It is the most important basis for having a chance to win the game. I will ask the girls, as I have been doing since August 23, to play as if not where we would ever lose: if they are stronger opponents, we will accept the result, but this will only have to be after having fought with a great heart but above all with a great head and cynicism in important moments “.
