Virtus: Holiday and Zizic under special observation. Test with Forlì to prepare for the final sprint

We return to the field next Friday, with theOlympiacos. Then, on Sunday 2nd March, at Segafredo Arena, the mother of all games. The one with theOlimpia Milan with a memory, fresh, to be erased and redeemed as soon as possible. Today, in the meantime, at the Porelli gym, Forlì arrives, an A2 team that does not hide its ambitions to move up a category. Scrimmage (behind strictly closed doors) to give those who remained, at Arcoveggio, the chance to train while also trying something in a match key.

Dusko Ivanovic he'll have to take a look at his own. Captain Belinelli, Hackett e Polonara they have a nearly constant performance and there will not be a need for many tests. On the contrary, it will be necessary to evaluate Morgan, who had skipped the trips to Piedmont due to a sudden attack of flu, and Justin Holiday, who must demonstrate that he is increasingly integrated into the Juventus schemes.

Having said that Will Clyburn was also seen in the gym, at least to maintain confidence with the shot, there are three other black and whites who are trying to make the most of this window, to gain positions. The first is Ante Zizic. The Croatian center has been out for almost two months, he will return to the twelve on Friday, againstOlympiacos, but it takes time to get him back in shape. That's why today's test is worth double for the Croatian.

Who still has something to prove – too inconsistent and with noticeable peaks in performance – is Rayjon Tucker who has extraordinary physical and athletic qualities, but is not always able to put them to the service of his teammates.

Those who have a great desire to play, then, are Richard Visconti. Ricky himself, yesterday, was one of the protagonists of the afternoon at the Sky club in Shopville Gran Reno, in Casalecchio. Visconti and Hackett made themselves available to the fans, signing autographs and answering many questions. "There are so many fans - says Daniel -, we are happy to be here". "I honestly didn't expect so many people and so much affection", added Visconti.

Finally, a tasty little sketch with Daniel Hackett who took one of Visconti's photos and, with a marker, added a nice pair of moustaches. "It's one of the dilemmas of the locker room," Hackett jokes. "But Riccardo would look really good with a moustache."
