Started from the inside out and suitable for strong and courageous hearts. This and much more is the Easter Monday match which, four days later, will pit Tinet Prata and Consar Ravenna against each other on Monday 1 April at 7pm. After the lesson they underwent in the middle of the week, among Dante Boninfante’s boys there is a desire for redemption and the desire to continue on the path that leads to the dream called SuperLega. To do this it will be necessary to reset the memory of Pala De Andrè and bring to mind the extraordinary comeback that occurred just a month ago at PalaCrisafulli. An indoor stadium that can push the gialloblù like never before and help them repel the attacks of Bovolenta, Orioli and Raptis, the experience of Mengozzi and Goi and the inventions and great jokes of the director Russo.
There was little to save in Game 1 with Prata having a terrible time getting in and staying in the game. But the club, players, staff and fans know well that reopening the series is possible, as long as the Passerotti that the PalaCrisafulli public is used to admiring take to the field.
It was captain Nicolò Katalan who showed his face after the defeat. “Unfortunately it was a start to the playoffs that was far from what we expected – admits the yellow-blue centre-back – because we interpreted the match really badly. The only way to recover quickly is to analyze the match from the other night. They played an excellent race, but we made mistakes in all the fundamentals. We allowed them to play with extreme tranquility. Probably if we had managed to put them under pressure their performance could also have faltered. We realize that the first phase of the playoffs is really tough and we knew even before taking the field that Ravenna was a great team. On the other hand, we are also aware that we have potential that we absolutely must put into play. The series can still be long and this is why we have started working again today with the aim of putting all our physical and mental energy into playing a great match on Monday. We want to reopen the series at all costs and go and play all our chances next week in game 3 in Ravenna. Our fans will certainly also help us and will make the PalaCrisafulli full of energy and difficult to conquer”
