the Como exam in the first away match of the year
The first external release of 2022 of those that, at least in theory, should keep the risks of relaxation well at bay. The Titans are preparing to visit Como Women, leaders until last Wednesday – when Brescia, beating the Larians in the recovery of the 16th day, took the three points and the top – winning in the first leg match and, just to mention a of the other seasonal highlights, the only Serie B team to advance in the Coppa Italia draw up to the quarter-finals. In short, an extremely probable challenge for those who, like Alain Conte’s girls, come from a good streak but need to pass a maturity exam for what role they can really play in this Serie B still full of opportunities. The long road and the points to be recovered at the top of the class are many. Therefore, a great test at home of the second force of the group is needed to be convinced of being able to totally re-enter the games. “The mood among our ranks is good – assures Alessia Venturini – Unfortunately we have some girls who are not in the best of physical condition, but we are back to training at full speed and we present ourselves to this appointment with the dose of energy and motivation. having in front of a team that occupies a higher ranking position than ours: we have the possibility of catching up and there will be no danger of taking the challenge lightly. It only improves our mood further. “
Venturini a defender and the defense, in this particular moment of the season, the strength of Conte’s team. “We come from two clean sheets – continues the blue-white 26 – and this is a fact that we pay attention to, especially us in the defensive department. It makes us gain confidence and makes us understand that we are working well as a department, but also as a general defensive phase. We must continue like this.” In front of you, tomorrow, many old acquaintances. “Como is not exactly a team unknown to us, on the contrary. – Alessia thought -” We know some of their interpretations well for having played together, while others have been our opponents in the recent past. I expect a race in which they will be the ones to take the initiative, also because they have to redeem the defeat on Wednesday and this, in my opinion, will push them forward in the first phase of the race. Their motivations will clash with ours, because we too are hungry for redemption, given that we have to chase in the standings. I believe it will be an equal confrontation, with an extremely important stake for both sides. “
