Simone Pianigiani spoke about the upcoming game against Valencia in Desio. “They are a confident team right now after beating Real Madrid. Valencia is a talented team, capable to space differently by playing Tibor Pleiss to attack the rim or Dubjevic to have two dimensions, the post-up offense and the three-point shooting, and Valencia is also capable to make great runs like they did in the Valencia game. We won there because we were brilliant ourselves. Maybe we are not that good now but in terms of toughness we are making strides. In Kaunas in a difficult atmosphere we lost because of a 2-minute letdown but overall we were good. This is an opportunity to do better and keep improving in spite of the many adversities because of fatigue and injuries”.
