E-Work wants to close the accounts. After the great success in match one, achieved with adrenaline pumping and the heart on the gridiron, tomorrow the Faenza team will go down to Battipaglia to secure the survival pass (PalaZauli, 7pm).
Should it go badly, there will be a good match at Bubani on Sunday: a scenario that Franceschelli and his teammates prefer to avoid, also because the first round has certified that anything and everything can happen between these two teams. Coach Paolo Seletti is determined and realistic. «We are perfectly aware that we don’t have many cartridges in our belt and therefore we will try to close the matter immediately. Garauno was really strange: in addition to the doubly delayed start, in the first two quarters we felt like we were in the nightmare of this season, where everything was going wrong and then, attacking our energy and character, we turned it around. There was little basketball seen on both sides. Going to Battipaglia to repeat a match like this is really risky: if you go 10-15 points down, as happened in Faenza, it becomes difficult to recover. We will have to play with more order, control and less improvisation.”
It’s also difficult to replicate 56% from three (Peresson’s fantastic 4/5 stands out): «I’m afraid so, so it will be essential to keep the score low. We will need greater precision from underneath and the ability to earn a few more free throws.”
E-Work will find a particularly warm environment. «Battipaglia is a warm and passionate square, where basketball is heard and followed. We will play 5 against 6, but this must motivate us and not scare us.”
The Manfrede have demonstrated that they have character and personality, getting back up in a big way in the moment of greatest difficulty and finding a significant contribution from almost all the protagonists. The charge was played by captain Franceschelli, while Peresson was surgical from the arc, while Cvijanovic and Tagliamento scored very important baskets in the crucial phase, or Dixon, in a double double with 15 points and 12 rebounds, was the emblem of continuity , well supported by the usual Brossmann, commendable for her sacrifice and desire to fight. Spinelli and Niemojewska were a little missed (3 points for the former, the Polish player without a goal): if they also enter the game tomorrow, Faenza will have one more reason to hope for immediate salvation.
