Scotti, tussle for the playoffs Vigevano remains steadfast at the top

With 5 defeats in the last 7 games Pavia has put Elachem qualification at +2 at risk and with one game less than San Miniato which, however, does not give up

PAVIA

The technical breakthrough is not enough to produce the miracle of a Riso Scotti finally free from its paturnias and self-harm, which is – it seems – more of the current mental gap than of actual technical limitations. Not that we could ask the new coach Ugo Ducarello, parachuted in the Omnia dimension a few days ago, to solve all the enormous problems with a touch of a magic wand and some training on his shoulders. But with the unsafe Empoli, fresh from six consecutive defeats (he had not won since 12 December, championship day number 12, 80-96 at Sintecnica Cecina), it was perhaps legitimate to expect something more, at least a struggled match poised up to the siren. . On the other hand, Pavia was quick after the long interval: two episodes above all, the assist of D’Alessandro on the back of Calzavara who was looking the other way under the bridge and the goal kick given by Donadoni to his opponents after a great defensive recovery, testify to the state of confusion of the group.

A crisis of play and results – five defeats in the last 7 games, compared to the four of the previous 11 – which swept away all certainties, including that of being able to reach the playoffs with a certain tranquility and in a noble position. Scotti is currently seventh, in the mid-ranking group at 18 which includes four formations and which has five other teams in front: in addition to Pavia, which has played 18 games, there are Florence (17), Robur Varese (18), opponent of the recovery tomorrow evening and Unicusano Pielle Livorno (19). Meanwhile, the calendar is more sour than sweet: on Sunday the away match with Borgomanero, theoretically affordable (the college boys have lost the last six in a row and have not won since 12 December, just like Empoli, 72-78 with Sangiorgese), but to be taken with the springs in any case – ask Omegna for information – then the direct clash of Florence with the Tuscans and on March 6 the PalaRavizza derby with Vigevano.

The ducals, meanwhile, continue their march as a steamroller at the top of the group: with Piombino came the eleventh consecutive success, suffered as long as you want, but further testimony of the thousand lives and one hundred and one resources of a group that always finds energy to throw the heart over the obstacle. San Miniato, the closest competitor, remains clinging to -2, but has played one more game than Paolo Piazza’s team and has the disadvantage of a direct match. –
