Towards Germani Brescia-Bertram Derthona: the words of coach Ramondino and Tavernelli
Second championship race for Bertram Derthona, busy Sunday 3 October at 17.00pm on the field of Germani Brescia. After the home debut against Treviso, the team is now preparing for the first away match of the season.
Opponent of the day is the team coached by Alessandro Magro who has ʺa widespread danger both in the outside and in the internal players - begins coach Marco Ramondino -. Brescia has a mix of players new to the Italian championship, such as Long, Cobbins, Gabriel and Petrucelli and Italians and Americans, such as Moss and Moore, who know it very well. It will be a match to play well on both halves of the pitch, being solid in defense and good at moving the ball in attack to avoid static situationsʺ.
The head coach then spoke about the addition of Chris Mortellaro, arrived ʺafter having been certain that Riccardo Cattapan's recovery time was very long. Chris has remarkable experience, character and knowledge of the game: he is a player ready to make his contribution straight away in training. He has great reliability from a physical point of view and is an excellent team player, with strong human qualities.
Coach Ramondino then analyzed the work done during the week after the match against Treviso, which ʺIt wasn't good but it must be useful for us for the path ahead in the season. We worked to be more reliable and to limit impromptu plays that don't guarantee us continuity over the course of the forty minutes against teams that have great talent. Our level of attention, preparation and readiness must be greater.
Richard Tavernelli
In the press conference, alongside Marco Ramondino, he spoke Captain Riccardo Tavernelli, who began by commenting on Sunday's performance and his role in the team: ʺWe must be good at drawing inspiration from the negative things of Sunday's match, understanding the mistakes we made and working to be ready for the match against Brescia. As captain and point guard, my role is to rotate the team on and off the pitch: fortunately, having kept five players from last year's roster and having had ten days of training camp, it wasn't difficult to form the group. My task is also to convey the identity of Derthona and what Marco asks of my companions.
Tavernelli then spoke about the differences found between A2 and Serie A, underlining how ʺthe athletic and physical level of the game is much higher, often having five Americans on the pitch at the same time, the talent is more widespread in Serie A because every player on the pitch is top classʺ.
