Riso Scotti on the market in search of a play Euforia Vigevano, primacy and cup finals

Pavia must complete the incoming transaction within the week. Elachem towards the big match with San Miniato

PAVIA

Euphoria Vigevano, Pavia disappointment. These are the two faces proposed by the penultimate first leg of group A. Elachem, with the suffered blitz of Cecina, snatches the blitz for the final eight of the Italian Cup and reaffirms the primacy in the standings, waiting for the challenge at the top next Sunday at PalaBasletta against the Etruscan San Miniato, which will assign both the Platonic title in winter, and the qualification hierarchy: the ducals already have it in their pockets, thanks to the victory in the direct clash with Omegna (88-89) and with a race in less and two games to play still has the theoretical possibility of catching them or the Tuscans; beating San Miniato, Vigevano would fly to the final stage of the cup from before and in the quarterfinals he would face Juvi Cremona (with Mestre and San Vendemiano, however, still in the running in group B).

Riso Scotti, for its part, looks to the market to complete the gap in the staff also highlighted by the heavy defeat against Oleggio: the box left free by play Alex Simoncelli, cut for the disappointing performance and friction with coach Di Bella, must be filled. The company from Pavia is in a hurry, it must complete the incoming transaction by Sunday (the rules allow, in fact, only one purchase by the end of the first round, while a second slot is possible after the halfway point); the goal is an expert director who also has production skills and knows how to work alongside the young Calzavara, talented but on whom one cannot bear all the weight and responsibility of conducting and managing the game; different prospects under observation, the operation could be closed within a couple of days, possibly to include the newcomer on the scoresheet in Sunday’s match at PalaRavizza against Omegna, a key challenge in the play-off perspective. –
