Viola Reggio Calabria-Derthona pre-match with coach Demis Cavina
TORTONA. Forty-eight hours after Viola Reggio Calabria - Orsi Derthona, a match scheduled for Sunday at 18pm at the PalaPentimele in Reggio Calabria, coach Demis Cavina talks about the team's morale after the victory over Scafati in view of the Calabrian trip. «There are many similarities between the last match and the next one. We have met and will meet two teams that occupy a ranking position that does not reflect the real value of the rosters, especially after the decisive make-up carried out on the market by the company. In last Saturday's home match we approached the match in the best possible way and, in Scafati's best moment, we managed to come back quickly also thanks to the support of the PalaOltrepo' crowd. On Sunday we will find an opposite situation, that is, a warm arena that will push the home team: we will therefore have to have technical and mental continuity throughout the match, because a decline on our part could lead to a negative break that would be difficult to overcome. Reggio Calabria was the subject of a profound restyling, which involved the individuals but above all also revolutionized the tactical concept of the team, significantly lowering the quintet and increasing its perimeter danger. Don't be fooled by the average height of the team: despite few big men in the role, the Viola also have a good attitude to offensive rebounding, especially with the wingers." Cavina then goes on to explain the work done during the training week. «We started again on Monday, taking advantage of the longer than usual week to add two training sessions in which to take care of individual work. As has already happened in past years, I would like to thank the Viola Reggio Calabria club for the great logistical collaboration offered in one of the longest trips of the year."
