Either in or out again. Eleven days after game 3 against BS Messina, Orlandina is once again in front of the ford because the thirty-sixth game of a very long season reserves the “beautiful” with all the associated risks of the case. This evening, at the “Arena Infodrive” (6pm), there will be a fiery atmosphere, from a competitive point of view, because Capo d’Orlando and Virtus Molfetta, tied in the semi-final, play for access to the final. Whoever wins will not only go forward but will have two chances to achieve promotion (by winning the final against Virtus Ragusa, already qualified, or by taking advantage of the other chance, the further final against the loser of Conference Centro) while whoever loses, irremediably, will finish here is the vintage. Will the pitch factor, with two thousand present to cheer and be heard, still make the difference? Or will Molfetta, mindful of the defeats suffered at Capo d’Orlando in the Play-in Gold and in game 1, find a way to cover up the opponents’ mechanisms and be able to exploit the verve of the guard Sirakov and the long levers of Aramburu? It will be seen on the parquet while in the Paladin sports environment the climate of great anticipation is experienced but also accompanied by considerable tension. “It’s the classic inside-out match – says coach Domenico Bolignano -. A delicate match for sure and we come from two good games played, also in Molfetta where, despite the defeat, a few incidents away from home made the difference, as happens in these games in the playoffs and with a missed free throw or a missed rebound taken can determine the outcome in point-to-point matches. We plan to be a little more focused and want to take advantage of the advantage of playing at home to secure our ticket to the final. We made many sacrifices towards the goal, after first place in the first two phases we passed the quarterfinals and we focused on the possibility of playing any “beautiful” matches at home. We must make the most of everything we have done and want to reach the final to compete for promotion.” What was missing on the trip? “The intensity and physicality that we had a bit early on and you can’t think of winning away from home if you concede more than 80 points, so we have to be more determined in defense from the start even if we have made some steps in forward from an offensive point of view.” Perhaps there is no need but more than ever the coach from Reggio is launching an appeal to the public. “I always thank them but tonight we need their support more than ever and try to inspire the boys and drag them to the end. But I’m sure the fans are ready to push us further.”
