Coach Ramondino and Lusvarghi present the match against Junior Casale
It's the eve of the championship for Bertram Derthona, who await the provincial derby against Junior Casale, scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, February 17, at 6:00 PM at the PalaOltrepò. The Bianconeri are coming off the away match in Rieti, which ended in an overtime defeat that "hurt us emotionally because we weren't able to take home the two points after the performance we put in," began coach Ramondino, who then went on to maintain that the week of preparation for Sunday's match was " complicated by some serious physical problems that are forcing us to restructure what we're doing again. However, the group is trying tooth and nail to improve ."
In recent matches, Bertram has consistently delivered good performances, but the Juventus coach is aware that "there's always room for improvement, even if the team has often outdone itself: we must therefore embrace reality and make feasible demands on a group that, since I arrived, has never had an easy day, partly due to the constant injuries that have plagued us. We, players and staff, enter the gym with the goal of improving, both after victories and defeats: we are confident that, with this spirit, the team will always be competitive despite the difficulties it may encounter ."
Moving on to analyze the team's next match, coach Ramondino states that "the match against Casale is both important in terms of the standings and has emotional implications that go beyond the championship matchday ." Regarding the technical analysis of the Junior team, the Bertram coach emphasized the coach and the club's remarkable ability to work decisively in a season that has seen a marked renewal: Casale is one of the best teams in the league in terms of points scored, they are very good at attacking with speed and exploiting the versatility of their players."
Coach Ramondino, along with Blizzard, is the great alumnus of Sunday's match: in this regard , "I believe the sensations I will feel will be amplified as I approach the game, but during the game itself the focus will easily shift to the pitch. I believe this is a game that will be experienced in a special way by everyone, regardless of their past experiences ."
Moving on to analyze the key aspects of the match, the Juventus coach believes it's very important to "maintain a high level of energy throughout the forty minutes, even with the mistakes we'll inevitably make, given our unique set-up that we haven't had the chance to work on in depth. Technically, we'll have to limit their transition play and the inside play, which they'll try to exploit with their big men. Meanwhile, in attack, it'll be important to attack the paint to create the best possible shots and thus maintain a widespread balance on the pitch, which will also help us on defense ."
Marco Lusvarghi said: "On Sunday, we'll have to show the same energy we had in Rieti, a tough and difficult match in which we always remained in contact with our opponents. Playing in the derby is always exciting, and the support of the fans will also be important in our attempt to achieve victory. For us, every match from now until the end of the championship is fundamental: the goal must be to try to get the two points against every opponent. Casale is an excellent team, with Martinoni and the Americans being top-level athletes for their category: they too will be fired up for the match and will want to try to avenge the defeat in the first leg ."
