Fortitudo, Thomas' time. Now a trio of challenges

Good for the result, less good for the team's attitude and for what he expects from them in the match, but also in training during the week. Despite the victory with Piacenza, Attilio Caja is not and cannot be happy with the Fortitude and he made no secret of it in the press conference, just as he won't do so to the team.

A week of videos and a lot of work on the field awaits Matthew Fantinelli and companions grappling with a series of important challenges that on paper are anything but easy. Sunday the Effe, also in memory of Dylan, the young basketball enthusiast who followed Fortitudo and Verona, will be on stage at the home of the Scaligeri.

A delicate first appointment which will be followed by two other very heartfelt challenges, the historic one on Wednesday 29th January at PalaDozza with Cantù and the one on Sunday 2 February, always on the pitch in Piazza Azzarita, with Vigevano.

Two very heartfelt challenges for reasons of rivalry, inflamed by past and recent precedents. Precisely for the home double is expected, the presale exclusively at the Fortitudo Store in via Riva Reno, while online sales have been excluded, on the Vivaticket circuit.

In the coming days, an assessment of the situation regarding the issue of public order will also be made, providing the right indications and corrections so that everything at the PalaDozza and around the facility proceeds with maximum tranquility.

Returning to the team front, given that there are no midweek commitments, the group will have a whole week to leave behind the toxins of the last period, recharge their batteries and get into the swing of things in the best possible way. Don Thomas that Caja fielded for just two minutes against Piacenza.

With only one training session behind him and with a superficial knowledge, except for Vencato, Cusin and Freeman, of his teammates and the new coach, it was in fact difficult to ask for more from the American, who was signed up and immediately thrown onto the field given the continuing absence of Sabatini, Gabriel and the unavailability of Menalo.

The championship is entering the key moment of the season, in which the fate and future ambitions of the teams are decided, so Fortitudo needs that leap in quality and that consistency of performances and results that we began to see from the beginning of the Caja2 era and that must be confirmed and relaunched even more now that the closer challenges are coming.

The record with Caja is 9 victories in 11 matches, at home the score is 7-0, away 2-2, a positive trend that must be confirmed in the next matches.
