The second phase of this Serie A2 LNP Old Wild West championship ends with the last round played at the same time on Sunday at 6.00 pm: the Eagles present themselves at the PalaElachem with the serenity of those who have achieved the mathematical participation in the playoffs but the desire to arrive quickly, and with the best possible pairing to play the first round. The possible combinations between Rieti, Turin, Cantù, Rimini, Trieste and Cividale are countless, with the only certainty being that to move the rankings it will be necessary to win in what was the home of former matchday player Dell’Agnello. The match will be broadcast live for subscribers on LNP Pass, deferred on Telefriuli (UEB media partner Gesteco Cividale) Sunday at 10pm, Referees: Miniati, Wassermann, Tirozzi.
Stefano Pillastrini (coach): “We must react well to this result we have achieved: sometimes when you achieve such a difficult objective you have a moment of relaxation and we want to avoid it. Another victory could be very important for the playoffs with a better ranking, and also for the prestige of closing the scheduled phase with ten wins out of ten. We are facing an opponent in the same situation as us, who achieved an excellent result by reaching the playoffs and will want to honor it in front of their fans. Furthermore, there is great tradition, given that we challenged each other for promotion from Serie B: so a friendly but also combative opponent, it will be a great party!”
Martino Mastellari (player): “We want to continue winning to close the phase undefeated and play for the possibility of even reaching fifth place based on the results that arrive from the other fields. Vigevano is a very difficult pitch, there will certainly be a playoff atmosphere even though they are mathematically certain of their position in the standings, so we should arrive with the same concentration we have had up to this point. We will go onto the pitch with more peace of mind given the standings, but we will do everything we can to get to the top of our game at the start of the playoffs.”
