An opportunity to put the opaque test with Varese behind you and give yourself great joy before the break for the national teams. Tomorrow, starting at 17:00, the match between Umana Reyer Venezia and Allianz Pallacanestro Trieste will be played at the Taliercio, valid for the ninth day of the Serie A1 2021/2022. The red and white will try to trip the Venetians and hit the sixth seasonal success while the lagoons will try to conquer the third consecutive victory to reach the Trieste players in the standings. These are the words of coach Ciani, released in the usual interview on the eve: “We must have the ability to get out of a negative moment like the defeat against Varese was. During the week we analyzed in detail the mistakes made in the match against the Lombards; now we must be able to turn the page in terms of attitude, attention and precision in expressing our game. AND it is clear that tomorrow will be a difficult challenge given that we meet one of the greats of this championship. Reyer’s strength is unmistakable and the Venetian team is constantly growing. We will have to show off a performance of great will and energy and if we are able to do this, we will be able to play for it until the last second. A confused and timid match, on the contrary, would not allow us to stay in contact with Venice until the last minutes and hope for a surprise shot “.
The coach wants his team to forget the last negative performance and give further substance to the excellent start of the season: “The risk is that a defeat could shift the judgment on this first quarter of the regional season. If we look at the position and points in the standings, we cannot fail to think of a positive first part. IT’S clear that last Sunday we had the opportunity to win a match that would have taken us to second place and given us a lot of peace of mind; but now we have to focus on the present, starting from the good that we have done. This cannot be canceled and obscured by a single performance “.
Tomorrow Trieste will have to do without Luca Campogrande, in the pits due to an injury: “Luca’s absence will last for a number of weeks. The first thought goes to him and to an unfortunate personal start to the season. There is a bit of discouragement and dejection about a guy with great will and high expectations for this season. As a team we have to be good at being close to him to help him get through this difficult time. On the pitch, on the other hand, we will have to be able to restructure again ”.
