Towards GeVi Napoli-Bertram Derthona: the words of coach Ramondino
Championship eve for Bertram Derthona, who will be busy tomorrow at 16pm at PalaBarbuto against GeVi Napoli. The match is valid for the 28th day of the 2022/23 Unipolsai Serie A championship.
The Lions are fresh from the home success against UNAHOTELS Reggio Emilia, which came at the end of a well-conducted match. “I think the team is doing its best – begins coach Ramondino – and that an excellent contribution is also being found from all the Italian players. Against Reggio Emilia we built many excellent shots, now we're working to try to regain some health by continuing to show the character we've had since the beginning of the season.".
On the characteristics of the next opponents, the Juventus head coach then added: “Napoli has many athletic players, all capable of pushing the counterattack and attacking at the start of the action. On the pitch there are almost always five players capable of creating and attacking 1vs1 both from the front and - like Williams - from behind to the basket. Furthermore, in position '4' GeVi has inserted Wimbush, who is an added winger as he handles the ball well and attacks from the dribble. Another aspect to take into consideration is their ability to produce gusts and partials.".
"Once again – concluded coach Ramondino – it will be important to play with balance in attack, resisting the aggression, physicality and athleticism that Napoli will bring to the pitch. Building balanced shots is the first step to containing their transitions and their ability to attack at the start of the action. We will have to be very united as a defensive team, since GeVi has many players who are difficult to contain on an individual level, so the contribution of the players not directly involved in the 1vs1 will be decisive".
Bertram Derthona reports that Demonte Harper will not be available for tomorrow's match. Not even Grant Basile left for Naples, remaining in Tortona for individual training. He will start training with the rest of the squad next week.
