Use Rosa fell in Broni. Collapse in the last half

THEUse Rosa Scotti she returned empty-handed from the trip Broni, but certainly not scaled down, on the contrary. First of all because the Lombard team is one of the 'big' teams in the championship, built for a top-level race, and then because despite the 'short' week to prepare for the race given the comprehensive and deserved celebrations for the historic conquest of the A2 Italian Cup, it took a super performance from the former Baldelli to beat the red and whites, ahead in the score for over three quarters and once again able to give the impression of being a cohesive group.

"I'm happy and proud of what the girls did - commented coach Alessio Cioni - for over three quarters of the game we led and then in the last partial we ran out of energy. Unfortunately we had given three days off after Roseto and even on Friday we couldn't train for the reasons we all know well (the strong wave of bad weather that hit the whole area, ed.) and in the end it showed on the field. Even in terms of mental energy after the cup a drop was inevitable and so, putting the two things together, here comes the defeat".

"There is still one thing that gives me hope. Despite all the mitigating circumstances, we went to play a match that many would have tried to postpone and on the pitch of a team against which, recently, no one has managed to play like this - continues the red and white coach -. So I am still happy and satisfied. I say well done to the girls and now we continue like this starting from the difficult away match that awaits us on Saturday at Cagliari".

At 16.30 pm, in fact, the red and whites will be on the island to face the Virtus Cagliari, a very important match also for the standings. The Sardinians lost in Salerno in the last round and therefore will look for the victory to stay in the zone play-off. In the end there are now four games left including the one next Saturday (Cagliari and Sanga Milano away, Livorno and Selargius at home) and a final effort is really needed to stay in the top four, a result that for Use Rosa would be really important in view of the play-offs.
