San Marino. Baseball, tomorrow in Urbania for the Titans
Let’s start, a few hours to go for the Titano Basketball in the C Silver 2022-2023 championship.
The first championship match will see the Titans play tomorrow, Saturday 1 October in Urbania (duo at 9pm). A very hot field, the scene of a thousand battles in recent years, against a top-level team.
The other competitions: Atomika Spoleto – Gualdo, Ascoli – Tolentino, Umbertide – Perugia, Loreto Pesaro – Pesaro Young Basket, Osimo – Recanati, Falconara – Fossombrone.
We talk on the eve of the match with coach Stefano Rossini. Coach, what is your assessment of the preseason?
“During these weeks of training we have worked a lot. My idea is to focus on dynamic game situations and try to express ourselves as fast as possible. This also in the midfield, trying to be fluid and not too static in what we do. I don’t want to constrain the players too much, but leave them free to express themselves “
What team are these Titans?
“A valuable group, with precise technical paths. I also played with two of them, naturally Raschi and Macina. I know them well, just as all the other seniors and the very young Under 19s that I coached in the national team no later than two months ago are unknown to me. The only real news for me is Frattarelli: I did not know him, but in recent weeks I have verified that he can be very useful “
What are the seasonal goals?
“The minimum goal is to finish sixth. And finishing sixth would not be the best possible result, but it would be equivalent to being promoted to the C Unica 2023/2024. It won’t be easy but we want to get there, it must be said “
Let’s move on to the strict topicality. In Urbania you will immediately find a very tough customer …
“Many teams will try to move up, the level seems high to me from what we have been able to perceive in this pre-season. Urbania is therefore one of these, a training of the highest quality, among the best equipped and with a warm audience. In a certain sense, well, let’s start immediately with a good test. Urbania confirmed along the Di Coste, a real factor in C and a man on which he leaned a lot last year too. In addition they have added two not bad players like Myers and Altieri, who returns “
What will be the key to the Titans?
“It’s the first and maybe we won’t be perfect, but we want to break the ice in the best way. We will have to get used to the atmosphere of the match, the two points at stake. It’s been a long time since you played with something on your plate. We want to have a good race, play as smoothly as possible and give our all “
