In the most important moment, a dangerous drift that can really compromise an entire season. There Handball Triestewho emerged with broken bones last Saturday from a direct clash with the Eppan which decreed the salvation of the South Tyrolean team and the mathematical certainty of the playout in order not to relegate the red and whites, with 120 minutes left in the regular season has a single aim: to at least preserve the field factor in the first round of the post-season. And to do it, tomorrow at They press (playing at 7pm) we will have to leave the Trentino parquet with a positive result, also because the +4 in the first leg achieved in Chiarbola does not allow us to have peaceful dreams in the slightest. Especially looking at the current state of the art.
On the one hand there is a confident teamthe team from Trentino who scored a great success in Bolzano last Saturday, taking themselves just two points behind Trieste. On the other hand, there is a team that has suddenly lost many “pieces” along the way (Di Nardo due to injury we will most likely not see him again for the rest of the season, Kosec and Pranjic have ended their experience with the red and white jersey prematurely) and who now – in the most important moment of the entire championship – is called upon to work overtime with the little material available. Given that the balance sheets will be made at the end (and many things, outside of the parquet, will necessarily have to be clarified), it is clear that in this state the players trained by Fredi Radojkovic they will arrive tomorrow at another key challenge with morale under their heels.
Rather than looking at their opponents, who have recovered after a very difficult first part of the season from the point of view of results on the field and who in tomorrow’s direct clash have the odds on paper as the underdogs, Trieste will have to look solely at themselves. There’s no need to beat around the bush: the only point won in two games – and above all, the delicate situation of the roster – raises serious questions about the end of the season. To the entire Giuliano association the task of providing the necessary answers so as not to see last summer’s return to the top flight in vain: will the contribution of the many young players in the red and white squad be enough to withstand the challenge until the end?
