South Tyrol is his second home and is giving him sporting satisfactions comparable to those of the magical 2015/2016 season, when he won a historic promotion to the A1 division in Broni with 37 wins out of 37 official matches. Roberto “Cico” Sacchi, 52, in his fourth championship on the bench of the Alperia Bolzano, has recently been appointed technical referent for the women’s sector in Trentino-Alto Adige. «I am honored – explains the coach from Pavia – a position that stimulates me a lot. I want to sincerely thank those who have mentioned my name and have chosen me ».

Fierce competition

Meanwhile, the A2 series continues with a thousand difficulties for Covid, but with a very high technical level: “As I had already said in the summer, we knew it would be a tough championship, perhaps the toughest in the last 7-8 years, including the one won with Broni. – continues Sacchi – Just look at Crema, who could only reach the top positions with his bench. Then Castelnuovo, which we certainly do not discover now, Milan which was strengthened with the return of Toffali, Udine with the experience of coach Massimo Riga, Brescia. There are no mattress teams, because even Treviso and Turin, stuck at zero points, have offered good performances against opponents better positioned in the standings ».

Alperia Bolzano has 6 points: «We were without Fall, which I hope to recover quickly, and Vella in matches against teams in our range. In the end we won the 2 home matches we had to win, against Turin and Vicenza; more away to Treviso. We have a young team that is putting itself in the spotlight, but experience cannot be bought ». Among the fixed points of the coach from Pavia, there is the Swedish winger Evelyn Ovner, who averages 19.3 points per match: «Nobody knew her like Bratka in Broni. – adds Sacchi – She, like the Estonian, comes from the English championship, certainly not of a level but in which there is a lot of physicality. I was lucky, honestly. Bratka was a golden girl, the same goes for Evelyn: she is showing that she can also play important leagues. Bolzano must be a springboard, because here you work peacefully, without pressure, and you can grow a lot. It takes a lot of blows, it is not protected at all, but in any case it always goes in double figures. Two years ago I caught the Croatian Katarina Trehub, who established herself and the following year won promotion with Moncalieri ». The championship, in some way, continues: «We finished last year, a terrifying season in which we played everything in two weeks; we must close it all the more so this year in which we are vaccinated and undergo periodic checks. Fortunately, we have not yet been “touched” by Covid, even if the numbers of infections in South Tyrol remain important ». –
