Adamant, third quarter under review. Redemption must start from Mantua

The results of the last round make the situation even more bitter, if possible. Adamant's Defeat in Iseo, arrived after a third quarter inconceivable, lost 34-7 by the white and blues, completely at the mercy of their opponents in those ten minutes that are hard to explain. The technical staff made the team review the entire third quarter of Iseo, to make them understand the mistakes made but above all the wrong attitude shown on the field by captain Drigo and his teammates; a team that aspires to the jump in category like Adamant cannot afford to suffer a partial of that kind, mostly without putting up any resistance as happened on Saturday night in Lombardy.

It must be said that Ferrara She wasn't the only one to suffer a comeback of this kind in the last round, because also Pordenone – on the field of Mantova, the next opponent of the white and blues – squandered an important advantage after the break. Ahead by as much as 17, on 33-50 at 20', the Friulians suffered the vehement comeback of their opponents in the third quarter, just as happened in the challenge of Iseo: 26-6 the break in favor of the Stings upon returning from the locker rooms, who then did well to withstand the shock and maintain the advantage in the final moments.

With the victory of Monfalcone in Pizzighettone, here the group has a new leader: it is the Falconstar, at 24 points together with Pordenone but ahead in the direct clashes. Ferrara is chasing two points behind and must now watch out for the return of Sangiorgese, who will however have to come and play at the Bondi Arena in the return round.

It is essential for the white and blues to resume the discussion away from home, starting on Sunday in Curtatone against Mantova: after four months without away defeats, two in a row have arrived in six days, but nothing is lost and the defeat at the top of the table in Pordenone has made the standings even shorter and tighter.

Adamant now needs to find itself again, to work calmly in the gym and not to run into those prolonged blackouts that have cost it four points in the last two away games.
