Last match before the Scudetto playoffs. Sunday in Milan (6.00 pm) the Sassari team is looking for that coup that it hasn't been able to do for three years but has often done so in the more distant past.

The victory, as well as giving the certainty of at least fourth place, would serve to worthily celebrate the 750 benches of coach Piero Bucchi, who led Olimpia for two and a half seasons: «A difficult match awaits us, we know the work and the quality of team and staff. They are fighting for first place in the standings while we want to keep the fourth position. We are recovering the injured players, we should be ready for the game with all the players. I hope and we are confident of being able to make a full race».

Regardless of the position and the opponent in the quarter-finals of the championship (the most probable is Venice), the Sassari team is working with a view to the second phase: «Mentally it's a bit strange, on the one hand the players want to wait for the playoffs, on the other you have to get there ready. We have made a targeted training program to get to the best».
