Hackett: This is one of those games that is crucial for our path to the playoffs

Scariolo: We will face this difficult and important game without some very important players as unfortunately has been the norm so far this season

Segafredo Virtus Bologna Coach Sergio Scariolo and pointguard Daniel Hackett speak before the game against ASVEL, scheduled for tomorrow night in France.

Scariolo: “We will face this difficult and important game without some very important players as unfortunately has been the norm so far this season, but with the right spirit, motivation and with the desire to continue to compete against a team that we respect a lot especially because at home they show a very competitive version of themselves. They have reinforced the team very well with the addition of Dee Bost, a very good player. We still have vivid memories of the first game in Bologna, where they never gave up even when they were down in the score and came back ahead.”

 

Daniel Hackett: “We face a high-level team that beat us at home in the first game. We want to go to their home and play decisively, doing everything to get the result, especially because this is one of those games that is crucial for our path to the playoffs. We have a big challenge ahead of us, Asvel at home plays well and is a difficult team to beat. The goal must be to stay focused for the entire 40′ and play with the knife between our teeth.”
