Basketball, the freshman Derthona arrives in Sassari. Piero Bucchi: “Treacherous match, but we have great confidence”
SASSARI. The third direct match in eight days, in the week that can turn the season upside down. After the blitz in the north-east, with the points deservedly taken away from the fields of Trento and Trieste, Dinamo is ready to deal with Bertram Derthona. In view of the match scheduled for tomorrow at 18, with the PalaSerradimigni reopened for 60% of the capacity, coach Piero Bucchi remains on the line of moderate optimism followed so far.
«We come from two very good performances – underlines the coach of Banco di Sardegna -, two victories that give us great confidence in view of the rest of the season, especially for how they have matured. We know that we are going to face a really tough team, who play very well basketball and who have a lot of arrows in their bow. Tortona has shown that he deserves to be at the top and to fight for the top positions. But we are fine, we play at home and we want to play a good match ».
Yesterday Miro Bilan worked for the first time with his new teammates and could make his debut for the second time in biancoblù as early as tomorrow, but that is not certain. Meanwhile, however, Bucchi highlights the level of cohesion reached by him. «The aspects that make me happiest are the great unity of the group and the sharing of the goal that the boys have. We are a team and we are showing it on the pitch, we haven’t done anything yet but we can see a path that everyone wants to take with great availability ».
The fact remains that the leap made in the latest challenges both in terms of quality and ranking, added to the important addition of the Croatian center, means that the bar of the biancoblù seasonal objectives rises significantly. “I prefer not to talk about goals but about continuity – replies the Emilian coach -, the team has been expressing itself for some time with a certain quality, in these two games we passed the ball, we defended: I believe that the important aspect is precisely this, to stay together on the same page and have the same identity and the same spirit always. The match against Tortona will be a good test from this point of view: in a few minutes they are able to accelerate violently. We must have continuity within the 40 ‘, Tortona is a team that is playing very well and that is very talented, has deadly shooters who can hit at any moment ».
Finally, the return to the sports hall, which has not seen the spotlight turn on for a match for 43 days. «The public is fundamental, we have not played at home since and we are happy to be able to hug our fans again. Besides, it’s nice to see the building again with an important capacity, it will be a great boost in a very tough and competitive match ».
