Bertram begins three weeks of fire tomorrow in Trapani. The words of coach Walter De Raffaele
Eleven days after the last match played, the Bertram Derthona will return tomorrow to dive into an official challenge with the away match on the parquet of the Shark Trapani, scheduled at 19:30 al PalaShark for the fifth day of the Serie A UnipolThe postponement of last Sunday's match at home to Virtus Segafredo Bologna due to the flooding leads the black and white team to inaugurate a tour de force in Sicily, 7 matches in 22 days between the league and the Champions League, with the away match in Trapani followed by the immediate trip to Lisbon against Benfica next Tuesday, the home match on November 3 with Sassari, the double tour of Emilia in Bologna and Reggio Emilia between November 6 and 9, the return match at home with Benfica on Wednesday 13 and finally the match, again at the PalaEnergica Paolo Ferraris in Casale Monferrato, against Brescia on the 17th, before the break for the national teams and the restart with the away match on December 1 at home to Olimpia Milano.
CHALLENGE TO THE TERRIBLE FRESHMAN For Derthona it will be the first time ever at Serie A level with Trapani. After the defeat by just one point in the debut at the hands of Virtus Bologna (88-89), Trapani rides a streak of three victories between Treviso (71-87 in Veneto), Scafati (101-87) and the last one in Varese (100-109), demonstrating the potential of the ambitious newly promoted team coached by Jasmin Repesa. Bertram, coming off the first defeat of the season with Trieste promptly redeemed by the clear success in the Champions League with Manresa, will be able to return with the full team thanks to the return of Luca Severini after two games out due to a physical problem.
WHERE TO SEE IT ON TV The race will be broadcast live on DAZN.
STATEMENTS “Trapani is a very long and well-constructed team, with 12 players. An ambitious team that is demonstrating in this first part of the season that it has great qualities to go all the way to play for the top positions and the title. At the moment it is the third force in the championship and with Galloway’s return it really has a lot of guns”, is the analysis of the opponent by the Juventus coach Walter De Raffaele. "It will be very important not to let them run on the counterattack, where they express a large part of their 96 points scored on average. This will be a very important element linked to our balance in attack. Naturally we will go to Trapani to play our best game and try to bring it home, to succeed we will need a very high level performance as it would have been needed against Virtus, whose postponement was due to reasons of force majeure and we are obviously very close to the population for what happened. We, skipping the match with Bologna, come from the victory with Manresa where we gave a good response to the defeat with Trieste. This week Vital was absent for three days due to personal commitments, but we had a good week of work. It seems to me that the team is slowly getting to know each other better, with its own defects that, like everyone else, we try to file down”.
