Towards Bertram Derthona-Happy Casa Brindisi: the words of coach Ramondino and Daum
Championship eve for Bertram Derthona, looking forward to the home match (two-way tomorrow at 20pm at PalaFerraris) against the Happy Casa Brindisi, valid for the third day of the LBA championship.
Derthona are fresh from their first success in the top flight, achieved on the pitch in Brescia, and are now preparing to face a team that ʺin recent years it has confirmed itself at the highest levels of the tournament both in terms of quality and widespread talent of the roster and consistency - begins coach Marco Ramondino -. This year it has undergone a lot of renewal but has immediately found a precise identity between playing at speed and in the midfield. On the roster there are players with performance and continuity such as Nick Perkins, Chappell, Zanelli, Gaspardo, Udom and talented players such as Adrian, Josh Perkins and Redivo who raged in A2 last year. From our point of view, we will need a game of balance and management of possessions in attack, while in defense we will have to be good at working on their strengths..
The Derthona coach then returned to Sunday's historic success against Germani Brescia, underlining how ʺthe victory came at the end of a very good week of work and thanks to the contribution of all the players. The growth in consistency in the match was important and demonstrated the awareness and maturity that we managed to acquire as the minutes passedʺ.
Alongside coach Ramondino, Mike Daum he introduced the match against Brindisi like this: ʺWe face a very strong team, who will be hungry and eager to play against us after the defeat on their debut in the Champions League. We prepared the match following the instructions provided by the staff. Our focus must always be on the aspects of the game that we can controlʺ.
The American winger, one of the protagonists of this initial phase of the season, then spoke about his impact on the Italian championship and his role, stating that ʺThe level of competition is very similar to that found in Spain, in Liga ACB. Even in Serie A there are very strong rosters and I'm happy to be here and be able to compete with the best. I think I have a lot of room for growth, but what interests me most is helping the team to try to win as many games as possible, not only by scoring but by doing all the things necessary to achieve success.".
