We need the warm embrace of the fans tonight for the first match of the Champions League group stage, which is perhaps the most difficult even technically. At 8.30 pm Unicaja Malaga takes the stage, easily overcoming the two qualifying rounds, outclassing the Dutch of Den Bosch (+56) and beating the Slovaks of Patriot Levice (+18) without anxiety.
Basketball returns to PalaSerradimigni after 126 days and Dinamo also needs a victory to recover from the bitter disappointment of the final lost in the Super Cup.
Coach Piero Bucchi presents the match and the European cup as follows: “The Champions League is a competition of great charm and quality that has come very close to Eurocup in terms of values. We are preparing to face a difficult group with the utmost determination and will to do well. Malaga is a top-level team with twelve real players and with the ability to compete to go all the way. We absolutely want to play a good match, but we have to work hard to compete against a team of this level ”.
Stefano Gentile seems to have recovered and his contribution, even part time, is fundamental for a group that in the three games in five days had to ask for an extra effort from the usual five-six players.
