Cavina: «Agrigento makes few missteps at home»

TORTONA. «In a normal season a team experiences ups and downs and unfortunately our current moment happens precisely in the period in which we play many close matches – comments Derthona coach Demis Cavina on the moment – ​​The short time does not help in improving the technical-tactical details , but on an emotional level we have with Agrigento the opportunity to redeem ourselves without waiting seven days. It is precisely on the mental aspect that we have focused our attention, having to rediscover confidence in ourselves and in our possibilities." The coach analyzes the last match lost against Viola Reggio Calabria on the eve of the match away to Agrigento. «The start with Viola was promising in terms of intensity and play. We literally shut down when we couldn't make easy shots. We managed to hang on to the match with intensity: this shows how much the team wanted to seek victory but, as happened in Siena, we made too many errors in attack to win the match." Derthona faces Agrigento at home who have lost only once this season against Siena. «It is one of the most solid and athletic teams in the group and which traditionally rarely makes missteps at home. The two Americans, in addition to being great athletes, have improved in understanding the game in A2, improving their offensive performances. Agrigento has an expert group of Italians: these are the key to the continuity of the last positive seasons of Ciani's team."
