Manerbio for the «bis» Montichiari redemption

The third day of the second phase of C Silver opens with a double crossing on the Brescia-Monza axis. At 21 Manerbio will be on stage in Brianza, against Forti and Liberi, while at 21.15 the Monteclarense Basketball will receive Villasanta. Starting with the green-and-whites, after having regained success against Blu Orobica (interrupting a streak of four defeats in a row), the team of coach Maxi Moreno seeks continuity against the last in the standings. Provided, however, that the commitment is not underestimated. «I am happy because we have finally unlocked ourselves, also playing a good basketball against a tough and complete team – the words of the manager from Manerbio -. Now with Monza we have the opportunity to also find continuity, but we must not underestimate anyone: we will have to be smart and not look at the classification ». Montichiari instead seeks redemption after the derby lost in the sprint (77-75) with Ome. «There is still a lot of regret, also because we played a very good game, even if now it’s time to think about Villasanta – explains coach Riccardo Piccinelli -. It is an intense and big team, not easy to face. But we are at home and we want to make the home factor count ». Tomorrow it will be Ome and Verolanuova’s turn. The franciacortini, first in the standings, are returning from the bitter victory won with Montichiari, in a race marked by the injury of captain Claudio Bianchi who will keep him out for at least a month and a half. «Unfortunately, a muscle tear resulted from the ultrasound – confirms Alessandro Valenti, general manager of Tecnofondi -. We will not go on the market, however, because we have faith in our players, starting with the match against Casalmaggiore, a team that we fear because it has put all the teams in difficulty ». The program will be closed by Lic Verolanuova, which at 20.30 will host the Bottanuco’s Bergamo players, in a match to be won to keep the playoff position. •. C. Can. © REPRODUCTION RESERVED
