Towards 2B Control Trapani-Bertram Derthona: the words of coach Ramondino and Matteo Formenti
It's the eve of the championship for Bertram Yachts Derthona, who are eagerly awaiting the match against 2B Control Trapani scheduled for tomorrow evening at 9:00 PM at the PalaConad. This is the second consecutive game in Sicily for the Leoni, fresh from Sunday's victory on the court of Orlandina Basket. "We achieved an important victory against Capo d'Orlando ," began Marco Ramondino, head coach of Bertram, " as it came against a team that has proven competitive throughout the season. We had good control of the game, almost always making the right decisions, but we are aware that we need to improve in some areas, such as mental strength, to avoid unforced errors from our opponents and to be more clinical at times . "
The Bianconeri's next opponent, Trapani, is a team in great form: for this reason, according to the Derthona coach, it will be important to "raise our level of play to try to be competitive against a team that, after the Amici-Palermo switch, is having the best performance in the group along with Turin. The Sicilians have a very functional formation with three players skilled at handling the ball, thus maintaining a high level of danger and offensive unpredictability. Defensively, they have a great ability to defend the area by exploiting the physicality of all their players and using substitutions to force the opposing attack to produce static and individual solutions . "
Sunday's match at PalaFantozzi saw Matteo Formenti return to the field after injury. He commented on his return to the parquet as follows: "I felt very good on Sunday, as the work I did when I was injured helped me. I wanted to get back to playing and I felt good . "
The Bertram guard then spoke about the team's new structure after the additions of Jamarr Sanders and Luca Severini, who "add physicality and depth to the roster, and are also very good at understanding the game. With Pullazi's return, it will be important to find a new balance . "
"Now we face Trapani ," Formenti continued, " who are coming off an important series of victories and who play very well at home. We know their physicality and their more talented players—Corbett, Goins, and Renzi. So, a difficult match awaits us, on their pitch . "
