Basketball, after the knockout with Tortona, trust in time for coach Cavina and the hunt for the new play holder
SENT TO CASALE MONFERRATO. Four losses in a row on the rump, a sudden collapse really complicated to interpret and a situation that is becoming more and more complicated. Dinamo returned yesterday from the Casale Monferrato away match with morale under their heels and with the certainty that there is still a long way to go out of the crisis.
Mouths sewn. Long faces and mouths sewn in biancoblù home. Sunday after the game lost with Bertram Derthona, the company announced the press blackout: this is the third crackdown in the last ten days, after the withdrawal in Platamona and the termination of the contract with Anthony Clemmons. Neither the coach nor the players have made any statements and it is assumed that this will be the case until next week.
Trust in time. The only certainty is that the one that started yesterday will be a long, very long week: the Banco has no cup matches scheduled and therefore will be at work every day to prepare for the challenge, at this very delicate point, against Gevi Napoli scheduled for Sunday at 7pm. in Piazzale Segni. Despite the ample reassurances from the company led by Stefano Sardara, the bench of coach Demis Cavina started to creak and at the moment there are profound reflections on what to do. The one against the Neapolitans of Pino Sacripanti will be an appeal test. Then there will be the break and on the return to the field Dinamo will absolutely have to be ready to face a very heavy triptych: on December 5 at Virtus Bologna’s home, on December 8 in Kiev in the key match for the passage of the round in the Champions League, on 12. in Venice against Reyer.
Now the market. In Casale, coach Cavina extended the rotations using nine men, also to “spread” the free time remaining after Clemmons’ departure on several players. Now the priority is to find the replacement. The profile is clear: Dinamo need an orderly playmaker, able to make the team run well, play two with the longs and be able to go on his own if necessary. The hot name is that of Michele Ruzzier, formerly of Vanoli and Varese, currently in the blue circuit but very little used at Virtus Bologna, where he is closed by elements of the caliber of Teodosic, Mannion and Pajola. At Dinamo, on the other hand, the playmaker from Trieste would have the keys to the team in hand: a factor that could make the difference, considering that even at an economic level the difference does not seem insurmountable. The news could be around the corner.
