Trieste basketball, for the Allianz it is a must to try: break Varese to go back up

TRIESTEThe Allianz wants to try again. Having found the success in Bologna against Reggio Emilia, tonight (duo at 19.30) in Varese, winning has the opportunity to definitively end the salvation speech and remain credibly in the running for the play-offs.

Openjobmetis shares 22 with the red and white and is back from a home defeat at the expense of Treviso which has regenerated itself with the exploit. After the blow against the Paladozza, Allianz moved to Varese to prepare for the match in the area. Nice charged atmosphere and with clear ideas on what the tactical theme of the match could be. Starting point: to avoid facing the race giving it a less important meaning just because the team has unlocked after seven losses in a row.

«We expect a completely different match compared to the one against Reggio Emilia. Varese focuses on relentless pace and exuberance, relying on the ability of the outsiders to attack the iron by beating opponents one on one. We will have to be mentally present from the first of 24 seconds available for action. In defense we will need a very high level of accountability, we will have to be attentive, aggressive and intense. In attack, on the other hand, we will have to choose patience and order without being overwhelmed by the rhythm of the Lombards », is the design of the match that traces the red and white coach.

The risk of being affected by the effort of the two extra hours sustained on Sunday naturally exists. However, Ciani assures us that “we are physically well on the whole”.

Enthusiasm works wonders. And let alone how much Adrian Banks may have nominated Mvp of the last round of the championship and expected in Varese from the first known environment in his now long Italian experience. A city in which he had found himself particularly well.

Tonight, against the lively Varese players, it will be interesting to check Jason Clark’s inclusion in the Allianz collective. Also for him it is the former’s match: Varese was his first Italian stop. The play-guard has the technical characteristics to be decidedly useful in Trieste on the field of Masnago, from the paper he will have to transfer this impression on the parquet.

Today the recovery of the first day of return is played with a menu that in the event of a triestine victory would open interesting perspectives. The spotlights are on Pesaro where a Fortitudo with a strong relegation risk is expected, with rumors of late payments and rumors of possible lockouts of the players then denied by the club.
