The Ferentino-Derthona pre-match with coach Demis Cavina
TORTONA. On the eve of the match that Derthona plays in Ferentino, coach Demis Cavina talks about how the team worked during the week in view of this difficult and long away match. «Certainly Ferentino is a team that has important offensive aspects, an advantageous side because it has the backbone of last year including the foreigner. It's a group with certainties that they demonstrate in their offensive play, where they have many points of reference. The one-on-one defense will have to be physical and intense and try to work as a team where we will have difficulties such as centimeters and kilos. We know the group and the difficulty also lies in the logistics of the trip." Derthona beat Virtus Roma in the last round, making up for it after the match lost in Agropoli, while Ferentino lost by 23 points in Trapani. «In Agropoli we played well, we dropped in intensity in the last quarter, but we have to think that our opponents are also there. We have had a good start, our certainty is the performances we have achieved so far. Ferentino has always had a good tradition of results at home." Giulio Mascherpa will not leave for Ferentino as he has been stopped by the flu all week and is therefore not available. «The role of playmaker is quite delicate and fundamental. We worked a lot on that too." The race will be broadcast live on LNP TV Pass.
