Demis Cavina, coach of Vanoli Cremona, gave an interview to Andrea Tosi of La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Among the topics covered was the surprising win against league leaders Virtus Bologna.
“A performance that will be remembered as the best side of the season. Of course we took advantage of their fatigue for the Euroleague. To use a metaphor from MotoGP, the sport I am passionate about, we scored the winning goal in the final corners.”
The first results testify to the quality of the summer selection.
“As we moved up the category, we focused more on quality than physicality. We don’t have any super athletes, but we do have a lot of players with good fundamentals. The new players are the playmaker Zegarowski, an ideal playmaker for the European game, the winger McCullough, who is a serial shooter, and the center Golden, a big man who is portrayed as a product of the old school due to his movements in the penalty area but who for be his
Passing skills are very modern. Lacey and Adrian give us experience, but our system is very much based on the Italian core of Denegri, Captain Pecchia, Eboua, Piccoli and Zanotti. We are an “underground” group that comes from below and wants to improve ourselves in order to reach the surface. The squad will be created in full collaboration with General Manager Conti and the entire structure.”
Salvation remains the goal to be achieved as quickly as possible.
“I coach a homogeneous team that has a great work ethic and consists of good people. For a team that was ranked second to last in the forecast on the eve of the game, having four wins is already a great result. The goal is only salvation. And our enthusiastic and ever-present audience can be of great help to us.”.
Vanoli will not have Adrian available for the trip to Naples (today at 6 p.m.), Zegarowski still has doubts.
