TvB, contagions in the Lavrio 7-day sled race-1 Saturday 15 the recovery at the home of Virtus

Tonight’s match at Palaverde in Greece on 18th postponed to January 12, two days after the eventual play-in match

/ TREVISO

No Cup night at Palaverde, for now: Lavrio, the Nutribullet opponent, discovered the other day that they had a number of positive players at Covid, so the Board of the event arranged to postpone the match of one of the play in di Champions Cup. It will be played in a week, at 20.30 on 12 January. Consequently also garadue, in Greece on 18 at 18.30 and the eventual garatre, in Villorba on 20 at 20.30. Treviso Basket announces that the tickets already purchased for tonight will be valid for the match on the 18th.

Sooner or later it was to be expected that something similar to our championship would happen at European level, namely that the Covid emergency would break out. The only advantage, so to speak, is the extra week of work for the return to Europe available to Nicola Akele and, for the company, to find his replacement token. Clearly now Nutribullet will have to reshape its calendar, which at the moment is composed as follows: naturally except for last-minute changes due to infections, the next match, last leg, will be Sunday at Palaverde against Trieste, while Sunday 16 will be made up for the matchday. championship, that of January 2, penultimate round and postponed en masse: the clubs decided yesterday in a video conference with the president of the League. That day, therefore, TvB will face Virtus in Bologna. However, the problem remains that two days after this match Treviso will have garadue in Greece, therefore it is already certain that the match with Segafredo will be brought forward to Saturday 15. Taking into account that in the event of a Champions League play-off Nutribullet will return to the field on the 20th, the calendar is really clogged: two (or even three) races in five days, well it goes in six days.

On the other hand, qualification for the Italian Cup Final Eight is at stake and, to establish the ranking of the first eight (already qualified only Milan and Virtus), the first round must necessarily end within this month: it will thus be inserted in the next two weeks the recoveries of the six matches that were scheduled for December 26, when Nutribullet was overwhelmed by Brescia.

With the Lega yesterday the clubs also discussed the cut in the capacity of the sports halls, which went from 60% to 35%. An immediate return to 60% is requested to reduce, at least in part, “the persistent penalisation of budgets, already severely tested by the total absence of both emergency intervention measures – which provide for immediate relief for missed box office receipts – and structural such as the reintroduction of the tax credit for sponsorships ». In this regard, an urgent communication will be sent to the Undersecretary with Delegation for Sport Valentina Vezzali, with whom a meeting will be requested in a short time, also in the presence of the Fip presidency, to discuss “the serious losses that top basketball has suffered in these years and which are endangering the survival of the entire basketball movement. And to ask the Undersecretary herself to act as spokesperson at the Prime Minister’s Office for these instances ». –
