Virtus has one more certainty: Polonara. Ivanovic has recovered the blue in the best way

The absence of Toko Shengelia he let it be understood that the Virtus should go through one of the most difficult moments of the season. On the contrary, without the Georgian forward, the Black V is going through one of the most positive moments, especially in Euroleague, where the bar is very high.

The necessary premise is that the results also depend on the quality of the opponent and that the not particularly brilliant moment of Barcelona has, for example, helped the Bianconeri a lot.

But having made this preamble it should be underlined that Dusko Ivanovich immediately transmitted a different spirit to the whole team. Shengelia will not be there tomorrow when the Black V will be busy in Athens against Panathinaikos and especially on Sunday when the Bolognese will play in Reggio Emilia.

Two meetings of different importance in which Segafredo is called to be perfect and where whoever replaces him will have to be perfect. It is no secret that the first candidate is Achilles Polonara with the Ancona-born player who has had several ups and downs this season, so much so that he seemed to have ended up on the fringes of the rotation under the new management of the Montenegrin coach.

On the contrary, the coach who arrived under the Two Towers, after the resignation of Luca Banchi, seems to have a very empathetic relationship with all the players he trains and this allows him not to ask the impossible of those who find themselves in difficulty.

Having overcome this phase, thanks also to a newfound physical condition, Achille is now making an important contribution even if the next step is to be on the pitch together with Ante Zizic for a coexistence that up to now has proven not so easy to achieve.

In the few moments possible, given the busy schedule, Ivanovic is also working on this aspect knowing that Virtus is a team that is strongly oriented towards attack and that to defend with intensity it must first find a certain offensive harmony.

Today the team will leave for the Greek capital knowing that tomorrow's match on paper does not leave much hope of success for the black and whites. It is also true that the Black V plays with the lightness of those who have nothing to lose and everything to gain. By now the situation in Europe is compromised and they play only to honor the shirt and to demonstrate that the beginning was conditioned by bad luck. But the club intends to do well.
