Tonight at PalaAsti (8.45 pm) the decisive challenge The CEO Picchi: “We have already done something incredible”
TORTONA
“Let’s gather all the energies and go get the A1.” At the end of race 4, won by one point on Turin, it is Marco Picchi, managing director of Bertram Tortona, happy but visibly tried, who gives the charge in view of tonight’s race at PalaAsti (at 8.45 pm) which is worth the top flight .
Tortona got the better of Reale Mutua thanks to a 23-point Cannon, decisive even in the final when he was able to take advantage of Fabi’s shot on the iron for the tap in of the last overtaking. To support the team for the decisive match there will be at least 50 fans, as many as the tickets available for the Juventus supporters in the Turin building. «It was a very difficult match, after game 3 we were saddened by the defeat of 30 points – comments Agu Fabi – We proved once again that we are a team, let’s go to Turin to play for it».
At PalaAsti, Bertram has the opportunity to achieve a historic and unexpected result against a qualitatively more equipped team. “The kids did something amazing. They have always been good at responding blow for blow, this match reminded me of the battles at the sports hall as a child – comments Picchi – only now we do it in a final to go to A1. I’m proud of everyone, whatever happens, nothing will change the satisfaction ».
Tortona played a tactically shrewd race, able to replicate the various partials of Reale Mutua until he found the key episode in the last two seconds. With an ascertained rebound disparity (39-30 for Turin last Sunday) to win, Bertram cannot afford to have D’Ercole, Ambrosin and Gazzotti at zero points as a success in race 4. “We deserved to win, we played with great pace and courage apart from a couple of moments of decline. The boys have found the energy, they deserve to play game 5 », adds coach Marco Ramondino. The match will be broadcast live on Mediasport channels (Sky channel 814 and on channel 54 of the Tivusat platform).Marco Quaglini
