Towards GeVi Napoli-Bertram Derthona: the words of coach Ramondino and Severini
Fresh from the victory against the Italian champions Virtus Bologna, Bertram Derthona is looking forward to the trip to the pitch GeVi Naples of tomorrow, Sunday, November 7 (two-ball to PalaBarbuto pm 20.45, live TV on Rai Sport e Discovery +), in the match valid for the 7th day of the 2021/22 Unipolsai Serie A championship.
It was he who presented the challenge coach Marco Ramondino, who began his comment by analyzing the characteristics of Naples: ʺWe face a team that has very high physical and athletic potential and that knows how to attack the area well. On the roster there are several players who are good at 1 on 1 and an athlete like Rich capable of scoring and creating advantages in many ways. Defensively they channel their qualities into help and recovery and protecting the basket. GeVi also has many versatile players capable of covering multiple roles: Velicka, McDuffie, Parks, Uglietti, Lombardi and Zerini. Despite the problem they had with Mayo, which deprives them of an important athlete, they led the match almost to the end in Trieste too..
Bertram's head coach then focused on the key aspects to be implemented to be competitive against GeVi: ʺWe will have to produce a continuous performance, knowing how quickly a game can change and that the ups and downs are something we will have to live with. It will be important to build balanced solutions, take the best shots possible as a good attack gets the defensive phase off to a good start. Our challenge must be to try to do better in each race, through the work we do in the gym every day during the week. We are the masters of our destiny, so the focus against Napoli must be on a conscious performance knowing our strengths and limitationsʺ.
In conclusion, coach Ramondino spoke about the physical conditions of Jamarr Sanders, who did not play last Saturday's match against Virtus Bologna: ʺLet's see what feedback he gives us day after day, after being out of action for almost a week. We will certainly have to understand what his feelings are in order to be able to reintroduce him in view of the next commitments.
Luke Severini
Alongside the head coach, he spoke at the press conference Luke Severini, who commented on the challenge awaiting Derthona: ʺWe face Napoli, a very athletic and physical team. A difficult match awaits us because they are coming off a defeat and have an important home advantage. Saturday's victory certainly gives us confidence to play Sunday's match.
The Bertram winger then concluded by talking about his experiences in the top flight, underlining how: ʺCompared to the years in Pistoia and Treviso I have matured and grown, aware of what didn't work before and what I need to improve on. I returned to Serie A in an environment, that of Tortona, that I got to know in the three years in which I played, so this certainly helped me..
