Basketball A2, the long run of the white and blues continues at PalaDozza: an opportunity to get even closer to the top. Fortitudo, a five-goal streak that now makes us dream. Caja keeps the tension high: Cantù arrives tomorrow

La Fortitude believes in it and wants to do it until the end. On the one hand, the league leaders Rimini are once again alone at the top after the defeats of the immediate pursuers, Udine, Cantù and Cividale and still have an 8-point advantage over the team Attilio Caja, on the other hand the white and blue Magic Moment does not seem to want to stop. Five consecutive victories, full loot in the calendar year, just 2 defeats in the last 12 games played, have allowed Matteo Fantinelli and his teammates to climb the standings and to place themselves, at the moment in fifth place, but with the prospect of trying to catch up with those ahead of them. The Effe has returned to flying, as the song of the Fossa says, and the white and blue people are dreaming of a comeback that would have something epic. Coach preaches calm and chalk Attilio Caja who on one hand praises his team for the performance and the victory against Verona, while the week before he had pulled his team's ears for the false start in the home match against Piacenza. As in every good recipe, you need to measure the ingredients well, but the chef Attilio Caja he seems to have found the right formula for a Fortitudo that since his return to the bench, Piacenza's stumbles in the first leg and Pesaro aside, has not put a foot wrong.

Certainly credit goes to the coach who brought a breath of fresh air and his staff, credit goes to the players who immediately made themselves available to Caja, working hard in training and getting great responses in the game, credit goes to the fans who never failed to support the team, many of them yesterday in Verona, and credit goes to a club that, with president Stefano Tedeschi and main sponsor and president of the Consortium Matteo Gentilini at the head, has supported its coach in every way and has returned to the market by signing an interesting young player like Leo Menalo, an experienced player like Luca Vencato (his performance was also very positive on Sunday) and a foreigner until the end of the season like Donte Thomas.

"It can't get any better than this" one might say and think, but the truth is that Fortitudo hasn't done anything yet, its long run-up began on November 24th with the challenge against Libertas Livorno and could end on April 27th, again against Livorno, but it needs to extend the streak of successes and continue to reduce the gap on those teams that precede an Effe in form in the standings. Tomorrow's challenge at 20.30:XNUMX p.m., in the internal confrontation under the vaults of PalaDozza with Cantù, he has the opportunity to get even closer to the top of the standings and to take revenge for what was the worst performance of the Effe this season in the first leg.
