Towards Dolomiti Energia Trentino-Bertram Derthona: the words of coach Ramondino and Mortellaro
Bertram Derthona returns to the field tomorrow evening, Sunday 12 December, awaiting the match against Dolomites Energy Trentino scheduled at 18.00 hours to the BLM Group Arena. The training coached by coach Ramondino is fresh from the success against Fortitudo Bologna, which came at the end of Overall, it was a good match in which we grew and produced a better performance than our standards in defence. We are aware that away against a team like Trento, which has widespread danger, attention and cohesion will be needed in defense to try to win. The players' application is very encouraging, the path we have taken this season may take longer than ideally expected, but the signals we receive from the team are positiveʺ.
Il head coach of Bertram then continued his analysis of the next opponents, maintaining that ʺwhen you face teams like Trento with a high athletic potential and an ability to play in transition, the two phases of the game are even more important and an effort is needed on both an individual and collective level in defense. Trento has changed a lot compared to last year, it has achieved a solid balance and very functional balance by winning six of the last eight games after facing Milan and Virtus Bologna at the start of the championship. It is a team that has a great history of competitiveness both in Italy and in Europe over the last few years.
Chris Mortellaro
Alongside coach Ramondino, he spoke at the press conference Chris Mortellaro, who introduced Sunday's match as follows: ʺIt will be a difficult race like all those in this championship. Trento has proven to be an excellent team and we will have to be focused on ourselves and on the work we have done in the gym to be ready to competeʺ.
On his first months in Tortona and his role, Mortellaro added: ʺIn Tortona I get along very well with my teammates and technical staff, I am in a professional club that achieved a historic feat last year. I try to help the team by doing what is most needed, I am surrounded by altruistic players who work hard: this is important to achieve the objectives. We certainly have ups and downs, which are physiological for a newly promoted team, and we are looking for continuity having changed some of the players on the roster. Personally, in training, I focus on maintaining a high level of competitiveness by giving my all every day.
