Tarros's chase. The second half of the season begins. Assault on Campus Varese

The return round of the Serie A begins today playout of the B Interregional North-West; The Jars is busy chasing one of the first three places in this second phase, of which the first two now appear to be the prerogative of the two Siena teams, Mens Healthy e Virtus. For the third and final place that will offer the pass to an early salvation, thus avoiding a further phase that would lengthen the season, 3 teams are currently fighting: Don Bosco Crocetta Turin ed Olimpia Woodshed Florence, in addition to the La Spezia team of course. Turin and Florence are 2 points ahead of the boys in the standings Marco Mori who can do nothing but win from here to the end and hope for a misstep by both. Tarros who plays today at PalaSprint hosting at 18pm the Varese Campus (referees Tommaso Cavasin from Rosignano Marittimo and Matias Deliallisi from Livorno), the youth team of Varese Basketball A1. Already in the first leg the black and whites clearly imposed themselves (69-99) despite the presence on the field of Elisee Assui N'guessan, the strong winger, born in 2006, already in the Italian national team and now a regular in the first team, so his presence on the parquet of 'via Parma' should be in doubt, this does not take away the fact that coach Roncari's team has in its ranks players of substance despite their young age, such as the tall players Kouassi and Prato and the outside players Carità and Tapparo. The game plan of the Lombards, among other things still without victories in this second phase, seems quite simple to decipher.

Playing as always in the open field, being assisted by good shooting percentages and, staying in the wake of the Spezzini, trying the coup in the last minutes. On the opposite side coach Marco Mori he seems quite calm about what his boys will be able to propose given that the week of training has certainly been profitable and without any hitches. "We are fine - comments the Livorno coach of Tarros -; we are focused on ourselves so as not to fall into presumption. Varese has 2 guards who are the offensive terminal points Carità and Tapparo. Compared to the first leg, Assui could be absent given that he is now a permanent fixture in Serie A and there will instead be a big man of great prospect like Prato. We must not underestimate Varese, but beyond the opponents, we must dedicate ourselves to always improving in execution and attention. I also expect the athletes from La Spezia to come and support us because the boys deserve to have important support".
