She wasn’t really used to it Trieste basketball to feel challenged and above all to have the feeling of being in crisis, not only of results. Net of a ranking that still does not cry – but which, in the event of a prolonged break with the victory, could do so soon – yet another ugly knockout of this last period which took place on Wednesday evening at home against Sassari has certainly left an important aftermath on and off the pitch. For the team, which in a few weeks saw all kinds of certainty crumble after the brilliant results of the first round, but also for the fans, incredulous that after the third place at the halfway point we find ourselves with a team that travels to the step of an unsafe woman. A heavy climate in different areas, capable of almost exasperating that part of supporters who perceive they have passed in the blink of an eye from the stars to the stables.
Latent jitters first and then resulted in a body language that admits very few replicas: the current Allianz is a team that, at the first difficulty, can no longer get up. There was talk of little fuel in the body, of a game that has become too predictable and of the lack of effectiveness in dampening the energy of the opponents. All true, but the gist is purely on the side of the head and the attitude shown. Franco Ciani – also at this moment in deep difficulty, probably the first to be surprised by such a profound involution of his team – he had almost predicted: in the second round Trieste would have to reset everything and start over, almost from scratch recreating an identity. Well, it is precisely the identity of the entire collective that no longer exists, with the security not renewed in the field that becomes a very heavy burden that Allianz is struggling to shake off. And with a cosmic pessimism that now hoversrebuilding everything to get back to being competitive becomes a damn difficult exercise, on the eve of the next challenges, one more difficult than the other.
Could maybe a simple victory is enough to return to smile and get back on track, net of a calendar that does not really grant discounts (Sunday the impossible challenge of Assago with theArmani Exchangethen a home match against the Fortitudo Kigili Bologna which really becomes the crossroads of the season). But it is also true that, after the last days of pure hysteria and closing veins, to get back to the piece you also need to throw a little water on the fire. Because, net of a nice handful of singles that currently seem really detached from an efficient game system and from a technical staff who are suddenly forced to climb a sort of Chinese wall to completely take over a team at the mercy of itself, trying to set up a recovery job with a minimum of peace of mind becomes essential and at the same time fundamental. With a confidence that has been hiding for weeks now, getting further gripped by panic attacks – on and off the court – is the most wrong. To recreate self-esteem serve rigorbut also an iota of that serenity currently lost. Without that, what remains of the regular season of the Trieste Basketball is likely to become a tremendous obstacle course.
