Third match in 10 days. RPA will host Sparkling Milano at PalaEvangelisti tomorrow at 20.30 but Dall’Olio’s men are on emergency mode.
Not only they have not won in 4 rounds but czeck diagonal player Jan Stokr has dislocated his ankle in the last match against Modena last sunday which might not have him on court tomorrow.
“Thanks to our medical staff Jan’s recovery is going well but we will only know tomorrow afternoon”. In case he will not be able to play, his replacement will be young belgian player Hendrik Tuerlinckx.
Milano is going through a good phase and RPA will have to work hard against their young players and the experienced ones” says coach Rizzuto.
Their place in the standings (11th) does not allow for any further mistakes, only three rounds away from the end of the first leg which will decree the partecipation to the Italian Cup.
A final comment by ass coach Camardese: “Milano is good at doing the simple things so we will have to find the key to complicate them. They are coming from 3 victories in 4 matches therefore we have to work on their confidence to beat them”.
