Riso Scotti, now Corral is starting to make a difference “I’m fine, away the shadows”

The Argentine pivot is growing after the problems in the first months “Coach Ducarello demands, but he also knows how to smile”

PAVIA

In the Riso Scotti who tomorrow will look for the fifth consecutive victory on the San Miniato parquet (ball at two hours 18), the Argentine center Diego Corral will be observed special, in growing condition.

“The break was useful for the team and for me in particular to take a breather – explains the 35-year-old pivot – I am convinced that it has given us a good load of energy to spend already in San Miniato, where we will face a team that makes aggression and energy is its strength “.

Physically Diego is getting better and better. «It’s true – he nods – unfortunately this season had started badly with the collateral strain of the knee that kept me still for 40/45 days. That wasn’t enough, in January I had to stop for another 10 days due to Covid. I’m sure I’m getting back in better shape now. My goal is to be at the top for the end of the second round and for the playoffs ».

The Ducarello effect

Corral alternated high-level matches with others in which he struggled more. «For this – says Diego – since I’m someone who is very demanding with himself, I think I can and should do better. I am not unhappy with what I have done, but I know I can do more ». The Ducarello treatment has changed its face above all to the defense of Riso Scotti, which in the four victories of the new course has suffered an average of 60 points. «Our coach has done a complete job both on and off the pitch – Corral underlines – he is a very cheerful person, but he demands a lot on the pitch, he is very good technically. He is hard in training and in matches, I think that someone like him is a luxury for the cadeteria ». The victory in the derby with Vigevano was the first conquered by Pavia against a big group in the group and the antechamber of a regular season finale that will pit Pavia against the best equipped teams. «It was also important to conquer the fields of Varese and Florence – Corral warns – now we are going to San Miniato ready to give our best to win. There are still things to improve, but we are also working towards that. In this final rush we will have to be tough and tough, because every match will have the flavor of a final ». –
