Prestige competition forEA Titanthat tomorrow, Saturday 3 December, with a tap-off at 21.15, will face the Loreto Pesarò in the gym of Flaminian bay. The opponent is simply the dominator of the group so far. For Loreto first place in the standings with eight wins in as many games, an average points scored of 90.1 and conceded of 51.2. As you can imagine, successes all achieved by a very large margin. The Titans come from an invigorating squad report obtained at home with Basket Giovane Pesaro. A significant victory because it makes the blue-and-whites smile again after the two knockouts against Perugia and Porto San Giorgio.
Coach Rossini, as always a short recap of the last match. What are the most positive notes?
“In the first two quarters we saw the aftermath of the previous two games, we struggled and we were in trouble, then we broke up. The boys were good at reacting, we compacted ourselves and made good use of the advantage under the basket, arriving at the victory. Good contribution from everyone”
You have the floor for the infirmary, which unfortunately doesn’t offer good news.
“Yes, because in addition to Borello, who was already out last week, we won’t also have Gamberini, who with Basket Giovane got a major cut to his eyebrow arch and must stay put this weekend. Then even further ailments, but the others will all be there, including Frattarelli who accused a calf problem at the beginning of the week”
What is your evaluation on Loreto Pesaro?
“High-level team, with an important and deep roster. They are all dangerous, it is forbidden to underestimate someone. I also played with Pierantoni, then there’s an important element like Benevelli who can be dangerous in several positions and finally the Argentine point guard Araujo, a player out of category. In any case, even all the elements of the group can be incisive in turn and therefore we will always have to be very careful. They are confident and don’t hesitate to take the first good shot of the action. The defensive transition will be decisive for us, it is important to manage the pace well. We expect a tough game but we are aware that we can annoy them”
