Three races to go, no mistakes but hungry rivals. The former Deangeli warns: “Attention, they seek salvation”
UDINE. Home Sweet Home. The Apu Old Wild West returns to play within the friendly walls of the Carnera sports hall after the terrible cycle of four consecutive away matches and launches the sprint for third place. A goal that requires us not to make any missteps in the last three games of the first phase, all to be played in Udine starting today against Edilnol Biella.
Today’s match is to be taken absolutely with a grain of salt, despite what the ranking says. The Biella people are penultimate, but there are plenty of reasons to keep the attention very high.
Let’s start the list by remembering the clear defeat of the first leg, with a last quarter that still cries out for revenge: a compliant Apu ended up overwhelmed by 22 points. Woe to catalog it as an episode, because since January Biella has begun to believe in salvation, obtaining seven victories, including a screaming one at Reale Mutua Torino.
Furthermore, the technical rate of the roster has risen with the inclusion of Jeffrey Carroll in the external sector: after starting the season at De ‘Longhi Treviso, Carroll has agreed to go down to A2 and is traveling at 21.8 points on average, with 60% from two and 40% from three. In short, a nice graft.
Udine, for its part, comes to the appointment with renewed enthusiasm thanks to the success caught in the sprint at Orzinuovi. Two points that served like bread, to restore morale to a group weakened by the double Piedmontese defeat and by the serious injury to Mussini. Now it is a question of continuing, with confidence and security in one’s own means. Especially in the defensive phase: seven days after having limited the best attack of the Green group, an encore is needed against a team that averages 81.2 points. Being able to keep Biella below 80 points is one of the keys to getting the win in your pocket.
To photograph today’s match is Lodovico Deangeli, one of the ex of the race. «We have closed a cycle of four consecutive very tough away games with an important victory at Orzinuovi, signed by Dominique Johnson, who is our leader and is not new to companies like this.
Now an equally demanding challenge awaits us with Biella, who, having reached the last day of the regular season, will arrive in Udine with the aim of conquering precious points in key safety. But we are determined to win to continue our race towards third place ». Apu with the same twelve who went to the scoresheet in Orzinuovi, Amato and Mussini stopped in the pits.
Apu Old Wild West-Edilnol Biella will be broadcast live at 6pm on Udinese Tv. Alternatively, there is live streaming on the Lega website for Lnp Pass subscribers. Updates every quarter on the official Apu Udine social networks. At least three races at the end of the regular season, in the meantime Biella has to be beaten then the Italian Cup parenthesis in which to dive.
