Once game 1 is over, we return to the field for the A3 play-off quarter-finals by CREDEM BANCA. This time the stage will be that of the PalaGrassato and the lions will do everything to bring a completely different script to the stage. In Fano, Smart System (a serious candidate for the category jump) showed great strength, deservedly winning game 1. The lions will certainly want to make up for it and turn the situation around in order to extend the series to game 3 by giving themselves another away match in that of Fano (possibly Wednesday 24 April) to then play for passage to the semi-final.
Coach Vincenzo Mastrangelo should not change anything compared to last Sunday’s match, entrusting the control keys to the former Partenio and to Dimitrov the main diagonal, Roberti (young player from the academy who scored 22 points in game 1) and Merlo from Banda, Galdenzi at the center in couple with Maletto and Raffa libero. Coach Marzola could respond with Catone dictating the tempo and Mazzotti counter-playing, Mazzon and Mian as forwards in position four, Arienti and Luisetto the central pair and Pirazzoli libero.

It will be the classic “in or out” race as always happens on these occasions. As mentioned, Fano demonstrated his superiority in game 1 by dominating the lions in all fundamentals. The advantage for Saibene and his teammates is that Game 1 has already been played, it’s in the past and we need to take inspiration from that past to reverse the trend in the near future.
Let’s not tell each other stories, let’s go write one.
Appointment at PalaGrassato Saturday 20 April at 6.00 pm.
