Mens Sana, a 'five' of trust. Marrucci warns: "Don Bosco intense"

There is a decidedly positive atmosphere at home Mens Healthy, with the black and greens coming off five consecutive victories (against Varese, Serravalle, Gallaratese, Collegno and Genoa) and in full swing for one of the first three places that would guarantee the direct salvation.

"Don Bosco Crocetta is a young team that makes energy and intensity its best weapon. So we will have to be careful, aware of the difficulties of the match. We remember the mistakes of the first leg well and we will have to be good at not making them again". Talking about the moment and the next challenge, the green and white winger Daniele Marrucci (pictured) who preaches calm and attention to his players. "When necessary we will have to slow down the pace, playing as an experienced team and giving continuity to the game, something we have done very well in the last five games". Learn from the mistakes of the past and avoid resting on our laurels now that salvation seems possible. It can become very probable, however, only by beating the Turin team that is currently 2 points behind the biancoverdi and that by winning would also have the certainty of direct clashes in their favor. "In these last few days we have managed to have more continuity compared to the first part of the season but we need to reset immediately because it is useless to think about these ten points taken after the defeat in the first leg. We must in fact win absolutely so as not to nullify what we have done so far. We know well the importance of what is at stake and we will try".

Last Sunday a third partial of 26-15 was decisive in the victory over the Genoa Seagulls. "In the past we have often sinned when returning to the court after a long break. Lately, however, we have improved and in the third partial we managed to give the right direction to the game as happened against Genoa last Sunday. It is a very important thing because a good approach when returning to the parquet can break the balance of a game, turning it in your favor". With the arrival of Jokic first and Ivanaj later, the roster finally seems complete and the whole group is feeling the effects. Prosek will almost certainly be missing on Sunday, still out due to the hand problem he suffered in Collegno, but the feelings remain very good. "Now we have lengthened the rotations a lot and this has allowed us not to get to playing the final points with little energy. It is an excellent sign, the result of the fact that we have gained more experience compared to opponents who are often very young", concluded Marrucci.
