TORTONA. Coach Demis Cavina takes stock of the situation before the match that Derthona plays at home at the PalaFerraris in Casale Monferrato on Sunday at 17,30 pm against Viola Reggio Calabria. «Being back to victory helped to return the approach to work to a “normal” week. For us, who feed ourselves through hard daily work, these days have been fundamental in talking about the last three matches. Indeed, we spoke little and worked a lot, focusing our efforts to continue the path we have planned with the staff. We will not change our attitude after a defeat, nor after a victory because, especially the latter, they are the result of the mentality that is built in everyday life." Reggio Calabria arrives on Sunday, what aspects did you focus on for this match? «The ranking, but above all the individual statistics of each Viola player, are lies. Despite having changed the roster, rejuvenating it and the technical leadership, I believe that this team does not lack talent. Although, as it was designed, it probably needs more time to grow and find the right chemistry. Our opponents are not easy to read even from a tactical point of view, above all due to their habit of changing the defense, and it is precisely on this that we have paid attention." How was the week of training? «We had some problems due to the flu that hit Davide Reati and which in any case will not affect his presence on Sunday. Even in light of the absence of Alberto Conti, who was involved in the Under18 national team gathering in the first part of the week, the contribution of our young people was fundamental, allowing us to continue our work without stopping."
