They were in force towards the final, the position of Merchant “Cividale is not scary, that’s how you fight”

The winger born in 1990: “The Friulians suffered against Bergamo, we have already shown that we are a compact group”

VIGEVANO

Cividale is not scary at Elachem. The Friulian team overwhelmed in the summer for the final victory on Sunday (duo at 6 pm) hosts Vigevano, the revelation of the Serie B championship, for game 1 of the play off final. After the painful but fantastic victory in the “beautiful” with San Vendemiano the ducals are preparing for what is the most important challenge of the season against the very strong Friulians.

The Basletta factor

«Against San Vendemiano – says Jacopo Mercante, among the best in Vigevano in the semifinal series – we didn’t play only twelve, we were many, because they were supported by the warm and numerous PalaBasletta audience. We could not lose with this cheering that pushed us. Before the final quarter (with Vigevano down by 5) we looked at each other and realized we were where we wanted to be. Our opponents have planted three impossible bombs, but we have not been disheartened »Vigevano is driven by enthusiasm and is about to face the two away games against Gesteco. “If there are two teams that deserve this final, it’s us and San Miniato,” says Mercante. ” Cividale reached the final with a bumpy path. He tore the ticket for the match against Vigevano in game 5 against Bergamo, which presented itself in reduced ranks, because his unders were engaged in the national final of the junior championship. «We must honor Bergamo. – continues Mercante, winger born in 1990 – because he put Cividale in difficulty, a team built to move up to A2. Cividale played the semifinal without a player like Laudoni but has quality elements like Almansi that we will have to watch out for. But we are a compact group and we have shown several times that we win as a team. I ask the fans to follow us in Cividale, with the commitment to bring the series back to Vigevano in game 4 “(which would mean conquering the Friulian building at least once). After game 1, Vigevano will also face game 2 in Friuli, on Tuesday 14th (duo at 9pm), while game 3 is scheduled for Friday evening at 9pm at PalaBasletta. The eventual game 4 will be Sunday 19th at 6pm again in the Vigevanese building. Gesteco has the advantage of the home factor having closed the regular season at the head of group B. while Vigevano finished second in A. –
