TvB, coach Menetti is positive: team to Tabellini

The coach, with multiple vaccinations, is fine but in isolation: on Sunday against Trieste (which has 3 infected) it is his deputy

TREVISO

Coach Max Menetti has been positive for Covid since yesterday, so since yesterday he has been in fiduciary isolation in his home. Nothing serious: being multiple vaccinated he accuses only mild symptoms however, as required by the protocol, he will have to stay out for a week waiting for the negativization, and then undergo a new molecular verification test. If all goes well, then next weekend he can go back to work in the gym. But he will not be able to lead the team on Sunday against Trieste, assuming that, as we will see, the match will be played. After the various checks, the Treviso company says, all the rest of the team group, i.e. staff and players, tested negative, so yesterday TvB regularly resumed training at the Sant’Antonino gym under the guidance of the assistant coach, Francesco Tabellini . Of course, the group will be monitored on a daily basis to see if anyone else has been infected.

This is the second Covid case that occurred this year in Nutribullet, after that of Matteo Chillo, who had contracted the virus in the Champions Cup, in the Hungarian trip to Szombathely. As for Trieste, for the moment the positive players remain three and therefore, in theory, the expected northeastern derby on Sunday at 17 at Palaverde should be played, even if without a few protagonists. In theory, because if other infected people were to be discovered in the Allianz in the next few hours, it would be necessary to start making some calculations: a team can take the field with a minimum of six seniors.

Consequently, all in all for Treviso Basket is also going well, especially to see what is happening in the rest of Italy: just to stay in the last hours, in Brindisi there are ten infected and therefore no match against Naples (which lost 79 -75 in Venice, yesterday Tortona moved to Reggio 89-84), in Pesaro seven of which four players, for which the trip to Brescia is at risk, while the system has just been found, with difficulty, to recover the 14 overall matches not played in the previous two days. And even beyond the border the situation is no better: the Euroleague confirmed the postponement of CSKA-Barcelona, ​​after another 7 matches in the 19th round had already been missed. Only Milan-Zenit remains tonight. The Euroleague protocol provides that each team must have at least 8 players available.

Pillastrini meritorious. The Federal Council of the FIP has recognized Stefano Pillastrini as a Meritorious Coach. The “Pilla” coached Treviso Basket in its first four seasons of A2, before the arrival of Max Menetti. –
