Simone Pianigiani talked about his team win over Barcelona. “We are happy because we deserved a win after the three losses against the best teams in Europe playing at their level, being complimented but with nothing to show for it. Tonight I knew we couldn’t be fluid and beautiful to watch, there was a lot of fatigue and we didn’t have Goudelock on top of missing Young and Pascolo since the beginning of the season. I asked for a tough, grind-it-out game and once again they responded. After missing easy shots we could have been demoralized by Navarro’s outing and by the score but we showed another time how much we had inside. It was a battle and the people understood our effort and gave us a huge lift. Theodore had a mission: attack their guards to create space. He delivered. We invested on his desire to keep improving and raising his play”.
