CASALNUOVO. It’s derby time for Angri Pallacanestro. Tomorrow evening at 8.30 pm, on the neutral ground of Casalnuovo in Naples, the Condors will challenge their cousins Bio Verde Antoniana for the recovery of the tenth first leg matchday. An unprecedented match for the Interregional B, between two really interesting teams. Thus continues the tour de force of coach Chiavazzo’s boys, who will then return to the pitch at PalaGalvani on Sunday for the first return match against Catanzaro. Don’t be fooled by the Giallorossi’s ranking, currently last with 6 points with Catanzaro and Barcelona. Coach Aldo Festinese has a roster with various interesting elements at his disposal. Starting from his son Vincenzo, currently the team’s top scorer with an average of 18.7, up to the various Bolis (15.3), Vranjes (11.5) and Bisceglie. The former player Chirico also stands out.
These are the words of assistant coach Valero Russo on the eve. “The real satisfaction, in last Sunday’s victory against Messina, was seeing these guys fight together, support each other and sacrifice themselves. The victory was a consequence of the work we do every day to make this group calm, but competitive and fierce. A few hours to enjoy the victory and we were immediately ready to focus on tomorrow night’s race. Antoniana has demonstrated that it is a team capable of imposing itself even against strong opponents. I expect a mature match from us, aware of who we are and how to face the match. We will need strong nerves and attention to detail to win the derby.”
