Towards Bertram Derthona-Openjobmetis Varese: the words of coach Ramondino and Luca Severini
Penultimate home match of the regular season for Bertram Derthona, playing against Openjobmetis Varese tomorrow, Saturday April 16, 17.30 hours at PalaEnergica Paolo Ferraris.
The Bianconeri are fresh from victories against Cremona and Brescia, who consolidated their fourth position in the standings and are preparing to face Varese, a team that “he has a great ability to play at a high pace and comes with a particular set-up, with dynamic big men like Sorokas and Sander-Vene capable of playing both front and back to the basket and passing the ball well - begins coach Marco Ramondino -. Openjobmetis also has wingers like Keene, Beane and Woldetensae who are good at making baskets from outside and a point guard like Giovanni De Nicolao who has taken on an important role in the second part of the season. Their team structure is functional, furthermore Openjobmetis is first in attacking rebounds in the championship despite their physical size as the dynamism of their players takes away points of reference from their opponents".
Bertram's head coach then analyzed the type of match that awaits the Lions: “The change of coach adds unknowns from a technical-tactical point of view but dispels any doubts about the type of character and emotional impact that Varese will have. A match of great intensity and character awaits us from our opponents, who will want to play in transition and at speed, characteristics that are marked and mirror ours.".

The competition was presented alongside coach Ramondino Luke Severini: “A difficult match awaits us because Varese comes from two consecutive defeats and has changed coach. It will be a complex challenge because they will certainly want to redeem themselves, while we must try to give continuity to the latest victories".
The Juventus big man concluded by commenting on Wednesday's success against Germani Brescia: “We arrived at the match after a complex period, knowing we had to play a solid match to try to win. We succeeded in the second half, increasing our intensity on defense, recovering balls and scoring baskets on the counterattack which allowed us to extend and manage Brescia's attempts to return until the end.".
