Capobianco satisfied after the victory of Italy's women's team at the basketball world cup

I'm happy because we won the first match at the world championship. At the World Cup, the first matches are very tough, for everyone, but especially for those who had never played on the most beautiful stage since the Olympic Games. It was normal to have a moment of fear at the beginning but the girls were good, they showed courage together and made it.

The coach of the Italian women's team, Andrea Capobianco, said this on Rai after the victory over the Czechs in the first match at the basketball world cup.

"These girls really have something inside them. Of course we can improve, this is normal, but for now we're holding on to this victory", added the coach, then underlining the work done by the defence, which only conceded 54 points to the opponents: "When we defend well we spread out on the pitch in a way that, in my opinion, is beautiful and functional.

And the defense held."
