After Sunday’s knockout, it is called to break Naples in order not to go below 2-0. The season is still to be applauded, but we have to fight until the last second
UDINE. Not a fly was flying on Sunday night for dinner at the Old Wild West house. The minus sixteen collected against Naples had left its mark. At night, however, even if the adrenaline might not help you fall asleep immediately, it helps to reset and look beyond.
Also because there is no time since it is already garadue time. Coach Matteo Boniciolli, shortly before midnight, with the players who had already retired to their rooms, had discussed with his collaborators on the reasons that may have led Udine to appear on the field with a submissive attitude.
And yesterday, before training at 3 pm at PalaBarbuto while outside the thermometer marked 39 ° (yes, you read that right) he had a confrontation with his players.
The Juventus coach reiterated concepts expressed immediately after the match. And that is that, if it is true that Napoli’s technical values are superior, his team has nevertheless shown that it can compete against the top of the class and that you cannot have the submissive attitude of race one.
All right, all indisputable. As indisputable is that this season in Udine is eight in the report card regardless of what the outcome of this final will be.
Losing is there, losing without giving everything is not. The team, as the words of a senator like Giuri show, are aware of being wrong. “We must go back to being those seen with Scafati”, underlined the number 21.
Boniciolli, already on Sunday evening, had remembered that Ferrara in the competition one in Naples had been buried under 30 points and then in the garadue he had had the shot of victory. Here, that must be the example to follow. “The way we played we could have lost by 40,” he added. Yesterday the coach wanted to speak to the team and was not tender with anyone because everyone made a mistake, except for Giuri who, not surprisingly, with 30’33 ” was the most used player.
Today everyone will be called to the rescue, but especially the two Americans (six points in two are just a pittance). Foulland must go back to doing the things he does best, Johnson starting from the defense which is the best way to find good shots in attack. DJ is no longer the player who dragged Udine to the semifinals, he seems a bit mentally unloaded. And if Johnson doesn’t play as he knows, Amato’s absence is felt even more.
By the way, the Milanese guard, absent on Sunday due to a muscle discomfort, worked yesterday under the expectant gaze of Professor Sepulcri. Until yesterday evening Boniciolli and his staff had not made any decisions. The ballot, however, appears to be between him and Deangeli. Mobio, in fact, can be useful against the athleticism of Naples and Nobile, with Amato not at his best and Jonhson a bit like this, would make the guards department a little too open.
Hypotheses, reflections, then maybe Amato doesn’t feel like throwing himself into the fray and like the other night he will sit on the bench.
Who does not give up is captain Antonutti. Yesterday morning he was limping, tonight he will be on the front line to lead by example. To stay in the running tonight, you can’t go wrong.
Going 2-0 at the Carnera on Friday night against a short opponent like Giva would make everything damn more complicated. The APU knows this, make sure that not only a few flies but other flies fly for dinner tonight.
