Failures are part of all preparations in the early season and therefore Nicola Brienza, coach of Acqua S. Bernardo, also accepts them philosophically.
Illnesses, muscle problems, late arrivals, flu viruses and more: Pallacanestro Cantù cannot escape the rule and nothing will be missed. Travel companions that somewhat influence, but certainly do not slow down, the journey towards the most important moments of the season.
The restart was yesterday, after the first friendly outing against Robur Saronno last Saturday. After an early afternoon “off” in the middle of the week, the coach from Cantù gave the team on Sunday. The best way for the captain Filippo Baldi Rossi to recover from the sudden attack of the virus during the season that made him miss the first training game.
Marco Ammannato, one of the members of the group in this first round, has some physical problems, and this creates some headaches in Brienza’s program, which needs high purity players like never before to do technical work.
The fact that Batric Velimirovic, a Montenegrin center born in 2007, is about to leave the company doesn’t help him either. Chosen in agreement with the Cantù Youth Project for a period of the agreement, the intention is not to use the option on August 31 and have him return to Roseto degli Abruzzi, the club that holds his contract.
However, we will be back on the pitch on Saturday. The doors are closed, this time, in Seveso for the test against Urania Milano.
