For the 2025/26 championship of B National basketball team La Bakery Piacenza has chosen to focus on a mix of experienced players (Ricci, Giannone, Bocconcelli), a young player already on last year’s roster (Morvillo) and some prospects new arrivals to be valued (Dore, Borriello, Abba), completing the roster with ex-Fulgor Banella and some youngsters from their academy.
A courageous choice, which immediately clashed with reality: 12 consecutive defeats on the pitch – the first of which was later converted into a forfeit victory. But in the last 3 rounds the boys of coach Salvemini, defeating first Lumezzane and then Omegna (!), gave a turning point to their championship, bringing the Bakery to 6, ahead of Casale and Fidenza. Foppiani therefore arrives at the direct clash scheduled for tonight, Wednesday 17th, at the PalaFranzanti in Piacenza (8.30 pm) trailing by 4 points, and with a very heavy burden – psychologically even before That technically – of 13 consecutive defeats. For the Fulgorino team there is no room for do calculations. To ‘turn around’ a very problematic season up to now there is only one possibility: a victory. To try to stay in the rankings, but above all to regain self-esteem and confidence in one’s possibilities.
