Gema Technique: Legnano Trial & Continuity Goals

Treviglio’s convincing victory, the sixth in the last seven outings, remains as a precious backdrop to a week of work spent scrupulously preparing for the match against Legnano, the last test of a very tough January.

Saturday at 9pm (advance necessary given the Pistoia Basket match on Sunday against Rieti) T Tecnica Gema Montecatini welcomes coach Piazza’s Knights to the Pala Carrara, faced two months ago on an uphill evening in which an incredible comeback stopped at the last shot. Since then, things have changed: Legnano is no longer leaders, it has had a period of decline and Vigevano deservedly took the top spot, which has two points more than Montecatini and San Vendemiano, the best team in the group.

“We are continuing to work to break in our mechanisms in a period of the season in which we have found important balances – comments coach Marco Andreazza, fresh from the prestigious appointment for the Under 22 B national team stage, in which he will be assistant to coach Luca Banchi – Legnano is a changed team compared to the first leg, perhaps less performing from a defensive point of view, but with many solutions and options that could put us in difficulty if we are not always ready on both sides of the pitch for 40 minutes. Tactically and qualitatively they are one of the best teams in the group, we know this well, they have many protagonists in attack to be monitored on sight. As far as we are concerned, we want to give continuity to Treviglio’s good performance, on a difficult parquet, where winning as we did, especially in the last quarter, was not a given. We must not have empty passes on Saturday evening, just as it must not happen in the subsequent matches of a calendar that will not be at all easy for us even in February”, concludes the coach. A period, the one coming, which will see Montecatini challenge Herons at home, Assigeco and Desio away in the first 15 days of next month.

Ticket office open from 8pm on Saturday evening in Pistoia, commentary on Lnp Pass for season ticket holders for those absent for the only match scheduled for Saturday of the entire group.
