Curiànduli cuntra i psèe. Confetti against thoughts. Especially if they’re bad. There is a need for this at Pallacanestro Cantù. Before “the chaos stops” (and the basketball gods know how much there has already been, in Brianza…). It may not be the time of El Carnavaal de Schignan, but Davide Van de Sfroos is certainly needed in these hours.
There is no need to leave room for discouragement. Put aside alibis. Stop suffering from encirclement syndrome. Six defeats are not a few, Tortona at the gates on Sunday is a team from the top, but if you want to get out of the black hole into which you have slipped you must react. How to do it? In only one way: on the field.
Influencers, commentators, fans, critics and journalists do not score or defend strongly. So it’s up to those in the green-and-white vest to do it. So far, it’s true, they haven’t often succeeded well (especially defending), but if the quintet has the potential shown in the derby (albeit lost) against Milan, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic.
Don’t underestimate the fact that this time we are playing in Desio. Under the pressure of the palace fans. You’re stupid not to take advantage of it, also because – in truth – in the away matches so far there have only been defects. Six points are few, let’s face it. And they constitute a wake-up call. The thorny case of Trapani aside, however, allows us to leave at least those two teams behind as per the minimum objective for the end of the season.
There is no point, at this moment, in thinking whether it is true or not that the club has made some reflections on Nicola Brienza’s future (anyone will never find anyone admitting that they already know how much Max Menetti and Walter De Raffaele are asking for per month). It would be useful, instead, to try to make a square. All together. Tücc insema, as the minstrel of the lake would say.
Trust, therefore. Here’s the magic word. Erick Green is strong and can also be a leader. Xavier Sneed is the only one, so far, who has never disappointed in both phases. Riccardo Moraschini has demonstrated how well he can still fit in the category. Let’s start again, therefore, from certainties. So that they can act as a driving force for others too.
Probably – and so on – no one has taken the time to teach the history of Cantù to newcomers. But if we hadn’t even managed to pass on the architraves (great defense and counterattack) of the white and blue victories it would be a mortal sin. This is why, from Sunday, we must demonstrate that we know how to put everything necessary to recover on the pitch.
Other changes will come along the way, perhaps, but now it’s up to whoever is there to do it. For themselves, the coach, the shirt, the club and the fans.
