Old Wild West, win in Treviglio to give a signal to the championship

The level of difficulty is raised and the APU is grappling with the first real test of the season after a soft calendar. Nazzareno Italiano holds the key to the match: “Defend strong and fight their physicality well”

UDINE. The level of difficulty is raised and the APU is called upon to give a strong signal to the championship. Today at 6 pm the Bianconeri are on stage in Treviglio, an opponent with a good roster and ambitions: from the top five to six places in the Green group, just to be clear.

The theme of the match is all too simple, Udine faces the only team that in this first part of the season has managed to beat it and wants to avenge the rudeness.

The crazy second half of the match played a month ago in Lignano turns out to be a useful reminder for the Old Wild West, which is superior both technically and physically to Treviglio (as well as being further ahead in the project, given that the Lombards have changed their technical guide ), but now he knows that a power failure can come at a high price.

It is reasonable to expect a ferocious approach from the APU to the match, in order not to allow the hosts to take the lead and gain confidence. In short, it is a match to be won first and foremost with the head.

Three days are few to give weight to the statistics, but the 58 points suffered by Udine on average are a clear indication of the great defensive application of Boniciolli’s team.

Treviglio is a team with points in their hands, defusing its sharpshooters with great defensive intensity is the key to taking home their fourth championship victory.

The “all-rounder” Nazzareno Italiano is the spokesperson for the Udine locker room in view of today’s match: «I expect a very physical match, where we certainly won’t be unprepared, since we have already faced Treviglio in the Super Cup and we come out defeated. Every day we are working to improve, especially as regards the defensive phase: the attack can not always make us win. The legs to defend and take rebounds, on the other hand, must always be there ».

Treviglio this year wants to be the protagonist. So here are the signings of players like Giddy Potts, great protagonist two seasons ago in Ravenna, the son of art Brian Sacchetti and two quality outsiders like Yancarlos Rodriguez and Federico Miaschi.

But watch out for captain Davide Reati, along with a polite hand from outside: his triples paved the way for the comeback to Treviglio in the Super Cup. Match live streaming on the National Basketball League website for LnpPass subscription holders.
