Basketball, the coach and captain Devecchi: “With Fortitudo everything will depend on the attitude”
SASSARI. “Attitude is fundamental. We have to start from the desire to sacrifice and to make ourselves available to the group. We have to make sure that the spark of anger which is needed to tear the game off, transforms it into positive energy ». On the eve of the match against Fortitudo Kigili Bologna, captain Jack Devecchi puts all the dots on the “i” and promises a burst of pride after the not entirely convincing test in Bologna. Tomorrow afternoon at 6 pm Piero Bucchi’s boys will try to resume the march towards the playoffs, which was interrupted for two Sundays in a row, against Tortona and Reggio Emilia.
«We come from these two defeats – said Devecchi – we are a little angry at how they have matured and we are convinced that we can do better, above all be more incisive in the moments that matter. With Reggio in important moments we conceded too much, especially from a defensive point of view. We are aware of the mistakes we made, now we have to be good at resetting and present ourselves to this race with great aggression. Also because in front of us we will have an opponent who has given a good turn to his season and who has been playing very well lately. When we can be aggressive and get everyone involved, we can play good basketball and win games. We cannot ignore helping each other, playing as a team and putting down the “bottom” in defense when possessions count. Attitude – repeats the biancoblù veteran – is absolutely fundamental ».
The words of the coach. Bucchi had another week to try and get Miro Bilan into the team’s gears. «We had a good week of work – underlined the coach -, focusing on the goal: I must say that the faces were the right ones to put the two previous defeats behind us. If I think about the last four games, I say that we didn’t play a good game with Reggio at all. It is obvious that there is also the merit of those who win, but what counts is our way of tackling the matches, our attitude counts. We talked about it thoroughly with the guys, we want to start again first of all from the attitude. The opponents will also be there, but we want to be energized to win ».
Recovery with Virtus. The date has been set in which the home match against Segafredo Bologna will be resumed, valid for the 20th day, which was skipped due to Covid.
