Riso Scotti works hard in the gym to find her way back to victory, after three defeats in a row. However, the Pavia team is expected to face a challenge as difficult as it is important on Sunday, given that at the Modigliani Forum in Livorno (two-ball, 6 pm) they will have to face the Libertas who eliminated them in the first round of the playoffs last season.

For some Scotti players this match will be decisive for the future. Officially nothing was leaked about the decisions of the Pavia company, after that, at the end of the bad defeat remedied in Cecina, the president Lele Caserio had been very hard on the team, the evening before the press blackout was decided. The reason? The only way to keep the players on track is to concentrate on Sunday’s match in Livorno. No decision, at the moment, neither on the salary cut nor on possible fines, it seems, but it seems that the fate of Alex Simoncelli depends on the match with Livorno. Precisely the Tuscan director, who arrived in the summer from Rimini, is the one who, in terms of cost-performance ratio, is the worst, so much so that in Cecina, against the not irresistible Tuscans, he has shown neither leadership nor experience and nor has he brought home points.

For now, the Pavia-based company has not taken any measures, pending signs of recovery from Livorno, but if this were not the case, drastic decisions can be expected. Livorno will not be an affordable opponent, because despite starting with decidedly high ambitions, it has the same points as Pavia, with five wins and four defeats, not exactly what the Labron leaders expected. Investments have been made starting with the agreement with the new coach Alessandro Fantozzi, an idol as a player in Livorno. The squad was strengthened with the arrival of a couple of unders such as Gregor Kuuba, Estonian winger of 2 meters and 96 kg. And Costantino Bechi, (182 cm playmaker, born in 2002, last season at Basket Cecina) and an experienced senior like Ivan Morgillo (center of 206 cm, born in 1992, ex Virtus Padova), in addition to keeping the former Pavia, Marco Ammannato, center back from a disappointing season in Pavia. –
