Pines who? Sacchetti thinks about the team: «She trained well»

A complicated week due to the “Pini case”, the certain absence of captain Da Ros. No, it hasn’t been a great week for the S.Bernardo coach, Meo Sacchetti, who returned to present the match after leaving room for assistant Max Oldoini seven days ago. Media attention in recent days has moved outside the four walls of the “Toto Caimi” in Vighizzolo: Pini’s reinstatement, which seemed all in all an act marked by a return to normalcy, instead had the completely opposite effect.

It unleashed the Giba, i.e. the players’ union, which stigmatized Cantù’s behavior towards the long ex Verona, rekindled the passion for social networks of Pini himself, who put a load on sharing the Giba press release on Instagram. And he obviously called Cantù to an answer, who now has a player – who is needed instead – now cut off from any technical-tactical project.

On the eve of the departure for Sicily – tomorrow Cantù will face Agrigento at 12 – the coach of S.Bernardo did not indulge in too detailed considerations on the disputes that went through the week. But he is certain of one thing: «I’m just saying that the team trained well, there were good level training sessions. I saw them much better than how we played against Piacenza. Well, that’s very encouraging mentally.”

On Pini, on his complicated reinstatement and on the controversies between the club, the player and Giba, very few words. At the moment, the player hasn’t recovered from a technical point of view or from a “human” one. In practice, there would have been no clarifications between the two. But Pini will leave for Agrigento anyway: «Pini will come with us on the road. During the week he trained mostly with the athletic trainer, because he’s not in condition yet ». End of replies on the topic, without further consideration.

Rather, Captain Da Ros will be missing due to a back problem, against an opponent who in the first leg Sacchetti defined as one of the best faced: «I confirm my idea, because Agrigento, in relation to its roster, in my opinion is one of the teams that play the best basketball in the green group. We know that a warm arena awaits us, which is always a positive and stimulating thing ».

It can therefore also be a “training” game from this point of view. Playing away games in a stadium that might be a little hostile, getting used to pitches that are a little warm could be invaluable in the key moments of the season. On the contrary, Sacchetti expects a crescendo in the final phase of the season: «In this sense, the hope is that, going on with the days, there will be more and more fans with a view to the final phase and the playoffs».
