The APU can still count on the extra weapon: Carnera sold out to try to go 2-0 with Verona

Tonight the second act of the play-off final, captain Antonutti believes in it: “A great thrill to see a city that gathers around the team”

UDINE. Not even the time to dispose of the adrenaline rush of race one that is already back on the field. Tonight (Tuesday 7 June), at 8 pm, Carnera will boil again with cheering for the second match between Apu and Tezenis Verona: tickets sold out well in advance, the Friulian people want to push the bianconeri up 2-0.

PARTS INVERTED

We do not expect great variations on the tactical level, even for the short time available to the two coaches between one match and another. Much can change, however, in the heads of the two teams. In race one the Apu approached the match badly, held back by the pressure deriving from the role of favorite who has everything to lose. The Scaligeri, for their part, played with a lighter heart and managed to stretch, except for committing a serious sin in the decisive moments: wrong free bursts in the worst moment of the Udine players and in the final minutes.

Tonight the parties are reversed, Udine has taken off a lot of pressure and Verona has the obligation to avoid a 2-0 which would be a half sentence.

THE DETAILS

In games like this, the balance is the master. Udine and Verona are equal in terms of depth of the roster, to tip the scales on one side or the other are the details.

In game one the Apu capitalized to the maximum the turnovers by the yellow and blue, but they conceded too many second shots to the Venetians: this is precisely an aspect on which to improve, as well as trying to raise the percentages to the three-pointers, avoiding forcing.

WHICH APU

At Juventus there are no problems related to injuries. This means that coach Boniciolli will have to make choices as usual in the name of turnover. Nobile appears untouchable for his great defensive attitude, in our opinion the ballot is between Ebeling and Italian. The APU coach could relaunch the son of art and leave the Italian, the protagonist of a bad approach to the game in race one, in the stands, so much so that he remained on the court for only three minutes.

WORD TO THE CAPTAIN

Leader of the group and decisive man in the final game. Michele Antonutti is at ease in the play-off climate and it is he who presents today’s match from the Juventus side. «We must be more precise, not have moments of emptiness, in which we make trivial errors, which do not belong to us. At the end of race one we understood this and immediately identified the errors to avoid. We got to work, because we are not at all satisfied with Sunday’s success. It was certainly a great thrill to see a city gathering around the team, I hope the public is very hot again ».

CHOREOGRAPHY AND TV

Also tonight in the stands of the Carnera there will be almost 3,500 spectators. The gates of the sports hall open at 18.30, the advice is to arrive early to enjoy the choreography designed for this second round of the play-off final. Those who stay at home can follow the challenge thanks to the live broadcast on Udinese TV (digital terrestrial channel 12) and live streaming on Lnp Pass.
