The PALASAVIO of Mortise was the theater of the quadrangular that the Civitus Vicenza made it theirs over the weekend, defeating Unione basket Guerriero Padova (an interregional B quintet) in the final 79 to 63, thanks to an excellent last period – basketball Vicenza

with 19 points scored each, Cucchiaro and Terenzi, an effective winger who arrived in the summer from Legnano, and finally recovered after a troubled pre-season due to a knee strain. The berici earned the chance to compete for first place, overcoming San Bonifacio in the semi-final 77 to 61 (Ambrosetti 15, Riva 12). Augusti’s Petrarca, on the other hand, defeated, perhaps a little surprisingly, their cousins Virtus, who were about to face the national B team.
For the record, the neroverde team coached by Riccardo De Nicolao did not have particular luck in the final even against the Veronese. Excellent indications therefore for coach Cilio a few days before the expected debut in the championship, scheduled at the sports hall in via Goldoni on Sunday 1st October at 6.00 pm with the fearsome Chieti.
Together with Alessandro Riva
(photo on cover) new Vicenza center arrived in July from Casale, let’s take stock of the preseason:”
In my opinion good. We faced top-ranking and well-trained teams. I am referring to the double challenge with Mestre, and then also and above all to the test represented by the Super Cup. In the first official race of the season we did well to get through, winning clearly in Ozzano. In Imola, however, things didn’t go particularly well. We found a team evidently already in great condition with excellent individuality and which could harbor ambitions. It happens. We returned to the gym to work hard and promptly redeemed ourselves in the Padua tournament.”
What do you think of the Civitus group?:
“The four new arrivals, including myself, had an excellent welcome from their teammates. The understanding that arises off the field between players is fundamental. It is the first and essential step to then transfer everything to the parquet both in training and in matches. I mean no one can win alone. A team is based on the collective, and therefore also on the pleasure of passing the ball. There is no escaping these concepts.”
What are its technical characteristics?:
“I’m 205 centimeters tall and therefore able to control the boards well, but I don’t consider myself a pure pivot. I also like the role of power forward since I have a good outside shot, which I have refined over time and which has become a trademark for me.”
A high level championship awaits you and for this very reason it is very tough:
“No doubt. We will make ourselves respected and will always sell our lives dearly. Above all, on our pitch and in front of our fans we will have to try to get the best we can to achieve our objective, which is a peaceful salvation. We will have to apply ourselves and sacrifice a lot on a defensive level and maintain the right clarity when shooting.”
Have you already learned about the city?:
“Certain . I like Vicenza. It’s a place that conveys a lot of tranquility.”
The final four of the Serie B Super Cup played in Montecatini Terme saw the victory of Pielle Livorno who defeated Ruvo di Puglia 88 to 78 in the final with Chiarini match winner, author of 21 points. Therefore the Labronian team wins the first trophy of the season. But attention is turned to next Sunday October 1st for the start of the regular season.
Chieti arrives in Vicenza. We want to get off to a good start, but we also need the public’s help. In this regard, the Vicenza basketball club is counting a lot on the season ticket campaign which is in full swing, with membership cards costing 120 euros (full), 80 (reduced) and 50 (junior).
