The conclusion of the regular season and the projection on the playoffs with a fourth place (certainly in case of success or the same result of Geas Sesto San Giovanni in Brescia, or left to a calculation linked to the basket quotient in case of stoppage and simultaneous success of the Geassine ). There Molisana Magnolia Campobasso completes his journey in the regular season and goes to visit – in a shift scheduled all at the same time on Saturday at 8.30 pm – the Virtus Bolognaquintet, the one from Bologna, who, with certainty, dives into the last round of the season without anything to ask for, already having the certainty of finishing in third place.
MAXIMUM CONCENTRATION Regardless of what the context might be, on the eve of the match the rossoblù coach Mimmo Sabatelli is clear about the attitude that the fioridaiuto will have to keep on the parquet. «We won’t have to think about anything – he argues – other than playing our usual game, knowing that we are on a difficult pitch and against a team of absolute value. Speculating about what could happen in other fields would be the biggest mistake we could make. With certainty, we should give life to yet another notable performance.”
SEASONAL ILLNESSES On the staffing front, there are no particular problems reported in the rossoblù group except for some small flu status, resulting from the drop in temperatures in recent days in the regional territory. «We worked hard, even avoiding some seasonal ailments – confirms the coach – but we are ready to give our best in this circumstance».
MAXIMUM POTENTIAL In particular, the prospect of Bologna with the entire roster available, albeit with nothing or more to ask for from the tournament, is a significant ‘alarm bell’ for Sabatelli. «It will be a match to be tackled to the fullest. To bring her to our side we will need the so-called perfect match because they are a battleship of absolute value and, in terms of mentality, they will try to build further certainties on this occasion.”
THE CHARM OF THE ARENA A further peculiarity will be that of playing in the very modern Bolognese facility where the homologous men’s team, also involved in the Euroleague, plays. «It will be an aspect of no small importance – acknowledges Sabatelli – a golden reason without a doubt, as it was to play, on other occasions, in a historic structure like the PalaDozza. We will certainly have to do everything we can to try to give ourselves another unique page in a season that is and will remain memorable.”
MORE USUAL To do this, the trainer knows well that his team cannot deviate even a millimeter from his own identity. «Defense and transition – he concludes – represent a philosophical basis of our game system and, in this sense, the line of action must be continuous».
CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN For his part, then, the Magnolias coach can only express his satisfaction with news that concerns the team’s near future: the biennial confirmation for Stefania Trimboli. «It is the sign of a company oriented towards doing well – he says – and towards improving even further despite the awareness that the difficulties increase year after year. In particular, I am very pleased with Stefania’s great desire to stay here for another two seasons. Besides being captain, she is a key player in the roster and the relationship with her is undoubtedly fantastic.”
FURTHER DETAILS With live streaming exclusively on Lbftv, the pay platform of the Women’s Basket League, Virtus Bologna-La Molisana Magnolia Campobasso will be directed by a mixed trio made up of Calogero Cappello from Agrigento, Claudio Berlangieri from Milan and Valeria Lanciotti from Sangiorge.
