Towards 2B Control Trapani-Bertram Derthona: the words of coach Ramondino and Matteo Formenti
Championship eve for Bertram Yachts Derthona, awaiting the match against 2B Control Trapani scheduled for tomorrow evening, at 21.00 pm, at PalaConad. This is the second consecutive match in Sicily for the Lions, fresh from the success achieved on Sunday on the Orlandina Basket pitch. ʺAgainst Capo d'Orlando we achieved an important victory – begins Marco Ramondino, head coach of Bertram – as it came against a team that has proven to be competitive throughout the entire season. We had good control over the match, almost always making the right choices, but we are aware that we need to improve in some aspects, such as mental strength, to avoid unforced errors by our opponents and to be more cynical in some momentsʺ.
The Bianconeri's next opponent, Trapani, is a team in great shape: for this reason, according to the Derthona coach it will be important ʺraise our level of play to try to be competitive against a team that, after the Amici-Palermo change, has the best performance in the group together with Turin. The Sicilians have a very functional set-up with three players capable of handling the ball, thus maintaining a high level of offensive danger and unpredictability. Defensively they have a great ability to defend the area by exploiting the physicality of all players and use substitutions to force the opponent's attack to produce static and individual solutionsʺ.
Sunday's match at PalaFantozzi saw the return to the pitch, after injury, of Matteo Formenti, who commented on his return to the parquet as follows: ʺI had very good feelings on Sunday, as the work done when I was injured helped me. I wanted to play again and I felt goodʺ.
The Bertram guard then expressed himself on the new structure with which the team presents itself after the additions of Jamarr Sanders and Luca Severini, who ʺThey add physicality and depth to the roster, they are also very good in understanding the game. With Pullazi's return it will be important to find new balancesʺ.
ʺNow we face Trapani – continues Formenti – who comes from an important series of victories and who plays very well at home. We know their physicality and their most talented players – Corbett, Goins and Renzi. So a difficult match awaits us on their pitchʺ.
