Very difficult trip to Mantua for Pallacanestro Vigarano

Vigarano Mainarda. First, Mantua, against last, Vigarano. Said like this, this evening’s match (9 November) at the Pala Sguaitzer in Mantua (two-ball at 7.30 pm) becomes even more difficult for Pallacanestro Vigarano, fresh from three bad defeats, with too wide gaps.

Coach Carlo Grilli‘s red and whites may not yet have Ginevra Zangara (bad ankle), but Maria Visone with an extra week of training in her legs. The team of owner Marco Gavioli must look at themselves, starting from the good things they showed in the first two outings, which brought no points to the standings, but many positive aspects. And Mantua? It is still undefeated and starts with the underdogs, thanks to a roster that features important players, starting with Orazzo, the true leader of a proven group. Maximum attention also to Fusari, as well as to the entire Virgilian squad, who have impressed so far in this start to the season.

“The ranking says it all – the words of coach Carlo Grilli -, Mantova is leaders with merit, it is a spin in which we will face a team that has expressed a very effective team game. Looking at our home, we thought about various aspects to improve after the latest setbacks. We need to rediscover the technical certainties of the first two days, in which we came close to winning. New certainties will also need to be built, given that the championship is still long, we must try to lay one brick at a time, starting with the away match in Mantua, where we will go with a clear mind. Let’s look forward with confidence, doing the little things needed to take a step forward.”

At the Pala Sguaitzer in Mantua, this evening, two-ball at 7.30 pm. Parisi from Catania and De Giorgio from Giarre (Ct) will referee. Live streaming on the Virgilian club’s YouTube channel.
