There Lombardy Cup arrives at its second day and for theAmateurs Tradate a decisive challenge is already in sight. After the abrupt internal stop in the first round, where Tradate lost 27 to 17 against Crema, the gialloblù are called to win a victory and they must do so with bonuses. With only two matches remaining before the end of the tournament, Tradate cannot afford any more missteps. In the next round the Amatori will therefore go looking for points away from home, on the difficult pitch of Lambro Rugby. The match will be played on Sunday 5 May at Uslenghi in Tradate with kick-off at 3.30pm. In a significant match like this, every detail can make the difference, but first and foremost the Amatori must rediscover the aggressiveness that has always distinguished them and which was missing against Crema. Tradate now faces an uncomfortable opponent like Lambro, a well organized team that plays good rugby. The match is not only decisive for Amatori, in fact after the draw obtained with Casalmaggiore on the first day, Lambro also has only one objective to remain in the running for the title, victory. There is certainly no shortage of motivation on both sides, therefore a compelling and tense clash is expected, probably not very different from the previous seasons played between the two teams. The last two matches between Lambro and Tradate were won by the Gialloblù, but the Milanese always put Amatori in difficulty, then losing by a narrow margin. The hope is that Tradate will bring its consecutive victories over Lambro to three in what is certainly the most important match between the two teams this year.
The absence of the captain will be felt in the Tradatese house, Andrea Galuzzi, who came out injured in the previous round. The team has the task of reacting and making the absence of its leader felt as little as possible. The group has character and a desire for redemption after the last defeat and wants to obtain this victory with a great performance in front of their fans. The tension will be high, but the Amatori must not get caught up in the heat or rush to score, a common mistake for many in matches like this. The match is underway, all that remains is to wait for the verdict of the pitch, for the moment there is only the certainty that the Uslenghi spectators will witness a heated match until the end.
“It’s a fundamental match – coach Giancarlo De Vita makes his debut -. We need to score five points to stay in the running for the title, we need this full victory, the team is well aware of this and it was seen from how they trained this week. We did a lot of video analysis to understand and correct the mistakes made against Crema last week. It will be essential to immediately enter the field with the right attitude. I know my team, I know that they can win this match and that we have everything to put in a top-level performance. We will still have to play against Lambro, we beat them in the last two games but they are a tough team, well organized and know how to play rugby well. It won’t be easy, but I have full faith in this team, I know that the boys will react“.
