Derthona, Demis Cavina sets the goal: “Let's think about one game at a time”
“It is essential to think about these matches without necessarily giving ourselves long-term objectives, that is, thinking about the playoffs, if we want to maintain the intensity that has distinguished us this season”. 48 hours after returning to the field, between the success at Casale Monferrato and the home match against Mens Sana Siena, coach Demis Cavina takes stock of the situation at Derthona, setting the objectives for the match against Siena and recalling the journey with satisfaction carried out so far by Orsi. The Juventus coach's analysis starts from last week's derby: “We are very happy for having been able to give our fans immense joy like the one that the victory in Casale Monferrato brought. As I had already said in the pre-match, I have a lot of respect for coach Ramondino's work and also for this reason I am satisfied with the way in which that victory was achieved. Just as we did in the Agrigento match, with Casale too we started from the defense to build the break in the third quarter which allowed us to then develop what, in attack, is our strong point, namely a quick offensive transition."
Derthona's moment is undoubtedly positive. A delicate match against Mens Sana Siena looms on the horizon, capable of putting the Lions in great difficulty in the first leg and before three matches that will lead the Bianconeri to the playoffs: “. The preparation for Saturday's match was regular, with an intense week of training and without any particular hitches. We remember the first match well and Siena's ability to score despite the injuries that afflicted them."
However, the PalaOltrePo' crowd will be there to support the Lions. The return to Voghera has once again certified the great affection that surrounds the Juventus environment: “Clearly the proximity to Tortona has helped the return of many fans – explains coach Cavina – especially those from the OltrePo' Pavese who had come there the last year and who, for obvious reasons, struggled to consistently reach Casale Monferrato. The hard core that follows us everywhere has in turn cemented itself around the team and even during the week it always manages to give us a lot of push with its closeness to the team. In recent years a great synergy has been created between the team and the public, and also thanks to this the players and staff always feel "at home".
