Coach Cavina presents the match against Bologna in the quarter-finals of the Super Cup: “We are facing a valuable opponent but we too have made progress”
SASSARI. «Let’s go to Bologna where we will play with other important teams, discovering the cards of the big players. Even if it is pre-season, I’m curious to see the teams that have not yet played official matches to test where we are ». There is a technician who is looking for further answers starting from some first important confirmations, Demis Cavina. The coach, who returned to Sassari after more than a decade from his first time, approaches the Final Eight of the Discovery + Supercoppa with the help of the information given to his notebook by the four out of four to the item victories sent on the scoresheet in the grouping with Cremona and Varese.
Dinamo will take the field at 3 pm, against Brindisi, yet another remake of a great little classic consumed on the Sardinia-Puglia line. Before focusing attention on the F8, Cavina allows himself a small excursus on the recent biancoblù past: «We obtained the qualification respecting the group in which we were engaged, making mistakes but improving on the technical aspects on which we focused. This is not a secondary aspect given the limited time between one match and another, an evident sign of the desire to improve and grow in the group: as I said from the first in Cagliari there is availability for work and a group of people who are already playing, even making mistakes, but always together, as a team from day one. We are satisfied with the qualification, we will play a competition that Sassari is used to playing, I said from the beginning that one of our objectives is to keep Sassari among the teams that count ».
In Bologna, to challenge Brindisi: «I’m happy to play against a colleague and friend I respect like Frank Vitucci. Brindisi is a team of great quality, especially offensive, capable of attacking in the first 8 ” like no other in a game made up of fast transitions – explains the coach -. They have an American group of value but I think the key are the Italian players like Visconti, Gaspardo and Zanelli who represent that little bit more. We will have to pay attention to the transition and stay balanced on defense, to be able to do so it is essential to select good shots. A good defense starts with a good attack ».
From the match with Varese, in Bologna. «The game with Varese from a defensive point of view was the best, the one in which we carried on with more continuity what we had already done with Bayern in the second half in Cagliari – he closes -. We have to take advantage of our talents. We are a team that has quality: a group that runs and manages to create open pitches, then a competitive team. I’d like to see a further step forward in defense ».
