Towards Virtus Segafredo Bologna-Bertram Derthona: the words of coach Ramondino and Jamarr Sanders
It's the eve of the championship for Bertram Derthona, who await their match at the Segafredo Arena against Italian champions Virtus Segafredo Bologna . The tip-off is scheduled for 9:00 PM tomorrow, Friday, April 22 , and the match is valid for Matchday 28 of the 2021/22 Serie A season.
As usual, coach Marco Ramondino introduced the match , analyzing Virtus's characteristics: "This is a team that has added two starters, Hackett and Shengelia, from a team that was competing to win the EuroLeague. These are two important players who add to a structure already set up to compete at the highest level. They are accustomed to playing top-level basketball and have increased their options and established a hierarchy that is never easy to find when so many champions are present . "
Regarding the challenge facing Bertram and the team's condition, the Juventus head coach added: "When you face the best teams, you must first raise your game, going beyond your usual level physically and technically and tactically. It will require a willingness to compete and not give up in the face of adversity. It will be very important, during the match, to remain flexible and adapt to the opponents, as you can't expect to play a one-and-done game against a team with so many different options. Cannon will be out of the game, Tavernelli has an ankle problem, but with Fridriksson in the rotation, there shouldn't be any potential roster issues . "

I think we can achieve something special because we play together and we're happy when one of our teammates puts in a great performance. We also help and support each other in difficult moments: this is a characteristic that makes our team unique . "
