Suitcase always ready for Cantù who faces their sixth away match in ten championship days tonight in Vigevano. A suitcase that empties and refills repeatedly, because no later than Wednesday, Cantù had faced and beaten Avellino. And, in three days, he will be back on the field, in Desio, for the highly anticipated match against Fortitudo Bologna.
Better, therefore, to stop and concentrate on today’s match which takes place at 6pm, at the PalaElachem in Vigevano – referees Wassermann, Chersicla and Barbieri -, with Cantù aiming to follow up on the victory, with some “stains”, obtained in the midweek of A2 against Avellino. Stains that coach Nicola Brienza clearly asked his team to remove from the match palette, because they could be dangerous. The coach is referring to those moments of disconnection from the match that the team shows from time to time. So far there has been little to worry about, but it is better to eliminate a problem, if there is one. «We won’t always be able to close those small-large gaps that our opponents manage to produce», warned Brienza. The message seems to be: “let’s worry less”.
Therefore the request is to increase concentration, attention and also lower anxiety levels in the event of partial or partial losses, because – as the coach himself recalled – “we have all the necessary weapons and ideas to get the game back under control”.
And a lot of attention will be needed this evening, against a team that is coming off three consecutive defeats, but which has found its American Marks again. A team, Vigevano, which was able to win in Pesaro in the second round of the championship and performed well especially at home, as demonstrated by the two victories in the series against Nardò and Piacenza. Supported by a beautiful, passionate and warm audience, very similar to that of Cividale, where Cantù experienced the taste of defeat. Furthermore, for what it’s worth, in the only precedent in A2, a year ago, the fall in Vigevano was disastrous for Cantù.
