Corral recovers, Riso Scotti finds her warrior

The long Argentine will be there on Sunday against Alba, Sorrentino in strong doubt. “If we win fourth place it’s not impossible”

PAVIA

Diego Corral is well and on Sunday he will be regularly on the pitch with Riso Scotti in the PalaRavizza match against Alba (ball at two o’clock at 18). On the other hand, Gennaro Sorrentino will almost certainly be missing: the former Fortitudo playmaker suffered a bad bruise that made his knee swell at the end of the match against Pielle Livorno; immediately visited, the player stopped and started treatment. But the knee is still sore. Today he will be evaluated again but his presence is at risk. Corral had a high fever before the home match with the Labronics; he seemed to have recovered but then there was a relapse and only this week he returned to training. «Now I’m fine – explains the 36-year-old Argentine pivot – I would have also played at Modigliani Livorno (against Libertas), but the match was postponed and on the extra days of rest I recovered. I’m ready for Sunday, with the Piedmontese we play for fifth place and the chances for fourth. In addition to the two points we aim for the goal difference, that is to win with at least 5 points difference: it means going to +2, with one game less and the direct match in favor ».

Riso Scotti made an attempt to anticipate or postpone the match against Alba until Saturday, but eventually gave up. «Maybe Sunday the weather won’t be great and someone more at the arena will come to support us – says Corral – I really hope there will be a good audience. The team deserves it, we are working well and playing decent basketball ». The Argentine is Scotti’s most experienced player, as well as being the best scorer (14.2 points per game) and the best rebounder (7.5 on average). «If we win on Sunday we will try to climb one more position overtaking Legnano – concludes Corral – it will not be easy but we will try. Since coach Ducarello arrived we are confident, we have made clear improvements in defense. We have to stay focused until the end ». –
