The pre-match. "We miss winning in front of our fans"

The thousand interweavings of Rimini - Pesaro they also concern the players. Specifically, Giovanni Tomassini, who grew up wearing the Pesaro jersey until he became part of the first team roster. "The match against Pesaro is very important for all of us – explains Tomassini -, for the fans, since it is a Derby in our house, which by the way hasn't happened for many years, and also for the company, given that on the occasion of the match the RivieraBanca Day". Many initiatives will liven up the Flaminio match. There will also be the possibility of participating in the charity auction to win the limited edition jersey. There is a lot at stake, but above all a lot of play. "This match is also fundamental for us players obviously - continues Tomassini -, because it's been a long time since we won at the Flaminio, so we want to make a change to the moment we are experiencing by putting in a good performance to get the two points. We want to win to try to overcome the difficulties, for the standings and for ourselves". Tomassini has been playing for several weeks with a shoulder problem that does not allow him to be at his best. The veteran is gritting his teeth and there has been no shortage of five-star performances. In the first leg match, the 76-82 at the Vitifrigo Arena on November 10, Tomassini ended up as the best scorer for Rimini thanks to his 18 points (4/8 from three) to which he managed to add 6 rebounds. It is a special match for the whole environment and also for the great ex.
