WEAPONS

After last Sunday’s precious victory against Lucca, Costruzioni Italia Broni pays a visit to Famila Wuber Schio, fresh from the defeat in the Euroleague in Gdynia (Poland) for 71-67. It will be played at the PalaRomare in Schio at 7pm. The match will be directed by Daniele Calella from Bologna, Rosa Anna Nocera from Cosenza and Matteo Roiaz from Muggia (Trieste). If in Europe the Scledensi struggle, in Serie A1 they are in command with full points, together with Reyer Venezia and Campobasso, and with 207 points they have the least beaten defense of the championship. «Certainly after Faenza we had to give a positive signal; it was important to take two points against Lucca. – explains Cecilia Albano, great forward, 25 – We saw the right reaction on the pitch, especially in defense, where we were very good at closing every space. Surely we must learn not to suffer partial, as had happened on other occasions, and be good in our half because we can put a lot of intensity, being very mobile players: it is in our characteristics and we must use it, as a point to gain confidence in attack. We are delighted with the 2 points taken in front of our audience. We hope to enjoy this success, because we are a team that has an important growth margin ». Now a complicated away match: «Schio is an excellent team, it will certainly be a difficult match, but we have nothing to lose. – continues the Turin, in her first season in Oltrepo – You need to be patient in attack, try to build good shots, find continuity and always be present with your head and united in moments of difficulty, which will not be lacking in a trip of this type. Personally, I had a complicated start, I’m not 100% satisfied yet, but I get confidence from the coaches and teammates ». The fans dedicated a banner to her: “Albano make us sing”. «I had never before seen an ironic banner dedicated to me: during the anthem in the Opening day match against Reyer, a partner told me to look in the stands. When I saw it, I died with laughter. – he says – It’s really nice. Relatives and friends wrote to me when they saw the photos. It is wonderful to have such a warm support: last Sunday going to give the “5” to the public was a great satisfaction ».
