Marco Maletti, MVP and top scorer of the first day of the championship, enjoys the victory while remaining with his feet on the ground: one immediately thinks of the away match against Monge Gebaudo Savigliano.
Marco, Sunday’s performance created great enthusiasm, does this galvanize you for the next challenge or does it add further pressure?
Sunday was certainly a convincing performance in many respects, and we are happy to have brought home the full haul. Now we have to be careful not to rest too much on our laurels because we still need a lot to work on many aspects, also considering that each game is unique. We have the charge of victory that certainly gives us an extra boost, but it is with training and study of the match that the victory is brought home, so we arrive in Savigliano aware that we have a united group and that is also working to manage good pressure.
So how much does the result of the first game affect the second?
They come from a defeat with certainly a great desire to redeem themselves, especially at home and they will give their best; we come from a good victory, the most difficult thing will be to stay with our feet on the ground and think about the new opponents, and especially in times of difficulty do not go black out, but stay attached to the game in every possible way.
How much can the field factor affect?
Playing away from home greatly increases the difficulty quotient, starting from the building with different reference points up to the audience that will be hostile to us from the first whistle of the referee. In this regard, I would like to further thank the Rossoblu audience for Sunday’s match, it was very important.
The game is approaching, how are you preparing and what aspects will you focus on until Friday?
The best way to get prepared is to be aware that you have given your all in training on every fundamental in which we know we are weak, and to have consolidated what we have done good.
So let’s keep our attention on the aspects that have worked best and continue the path to get to our best possible form, filing down those aspects that are less in our strings.
I believe we will arrive ready and loaded.
