CORTINA
Weeekend of fire for the Cortina. Two races in two days to defend the fifth position in the standings. The Ampezzo players will face Bregenzerwald tonight at the Olimpico, at 19.30, and tomorrow they will be engaged in a real direct clash at Salzburg B at 7.15 pm. Having vanished the dream of reaching fourth place and directly accessing the quarter-finals, Hafro is now called to defend fifth place. Three games from the end of the regular season, the men of coach Machacka cannot let their guard down and must prepare to face the pre-playoffs that will see the teams from fifth to twelfth position compete against each other. “These last three games will serve not only to try to keep fifth place, but also to prepare ourselves as best as possible for the pre-playoffs”, underlines the young Davide Faloppa. The races with Bregenzerwald and Salzburg, visible on the Alp site in live streaming for a fee, represent a good test case. «They will not be two easy matches», confirms Faloppa, «because our opponents will also be looking for important points to improve their ranking. I think that by taking advantage of the opportunities in attack and playing in an orderly manner in defense we will be able to be successful in both matches and secure fifth place ».
After the defeat in Feldkirch a week ago, Cortina redeemed themselves by winning 4-3 against Lustenau thanks to the decisive goal from Faloppa. «I am quite happy with my season so far. Despite a slow start, lately I’ve been finding a lot of space and this makes me very happy. If we play as we know in the playoffs “, concludes the young white and blue striker,” we will be able to give ourselves great satisfaction “.
