Difficult match tomorrow for Virtus, complicated by important absences

PalaTrieste would have been a difficult match against a team that, especially at home, has a high level of performance but, as if that wasn’t enough, Virtus faces it with two important absences such as those of Carsen Edwards (its top scorer) and Alen Smailagic, a man who can cover the two roles of 4 and 5. Dusko Ivanovic will not have to make a turnover among the foreigners and will have Karim Yallow available again after ten days, but it is not known which one it will be the possibility of using the German who has just recovered from a muscular problem.

Trieste solid and balanced team

Trieste is last year’s team but they put Ramsey in Valentine’s place, plus Toscano Anderson and therefore increased the danger on the perimeter. When the wingers guess the right evening they can be a team to take with a pinch of salt. She comes from a terrible performance in Varese where she didn’t reach 70 points and it’s logical that she will want to make up for it immediately. On the bench sits Israel Gonzales, student of Pablo Laso, and former coach of Alba Berlin in the Euroleague, therefore a highly experienced coach,

The Virtus pre-match

The Assistant Coach’s pre-match Nenad Jakovljevic: “We face a team that finds its aggression and energy by running in the open field, trying to exploit the speed of their guards in creating quick shots. Our focus, beyond that, will be on one-on-one situations, especially with their guards and on not allowing open shots from the three-point arc. Individual responsibility in defending one-on-one situations will also have to give us strength in the offensive half of the field, where we want to give more continuity to the ball movement. A very difficult match awaits us, as Trieste has shown so far that it can put many teams are in difficulty and consequently we must face the match with the idea that every single possession will be important.”
