Gianmarco Conte was among the most positive players in the defeat of Omnia in Crema in their Super Cup debut. Conte had the best minus / plus of the team, a significant + 15, indicating that Pavia has always done well with him on the pitch.
At the beginning the Pavia team suffered and only when they rolled up their sleeves did they change the course of the match. «We started a bit too soft in defense – comments the 24-year-old winger who arrived in the summer on the banks of the Ticino – in the first part we suffered too much from our opponents, who also took many rebounds. In the locker room during the interval we charged: we were convinced that the match could still be resumed. We grew up and went to play the next round, we just lacked a bit of clarity in hitting the goal. We have shown that we are in defense. Let’s now try to start again from the second part, avoiding drops and show that we are the ones who have blocked the road to Crema in a while ».
They weighed the 31 points of the first quarter, too many, even if the real goal is the debut in the league in three weeks. Time to unload the great work done in the gym and get in shape for the start of the season so there is everything.
«We are a group under construction – explains Conte – we are getting to know each other and then small ailments prevented the team from training all together. In the last week we have worked a lot with the legs and I think we have seen that we were packed and contracted in the first part. However, I am convinced that we are doing a good job and we must continue to train intensely, trying to perfect ourselves and be ready when it counts, that is Sunday 3 October ».
The grit and determination that Gianmarco Conte and Andrea Calzavara brought from the bench were important to change the course of the match. «Ours is a long bench – says the former Vicenza player – we are a team in which we are all important in the same way. We all feel important and useful, so everyone has to bring their own brick to get to victory. A positive side of the defeat against Crema was the collaboration in defense in the second part, when we passed the ball more in attack and in fact we came close to winning. Of course, to make up for the gap in the first half, we spent a lot of energy, which at this moment of the season I’m certainly not at the top. When we finally hooked them we were unable to complete the overtaking because we were not very lucid, having put in everything we have to get to that point ». –
