Sunday 4 December 2021. Go on the pitch without fear, doing the same things you feel during the week in training and without any kind of awe towards opponents, very often physically bigger, and just as often closed to zones in the defensive area.
By playing with this determination, the Under 14 Silver of INVICTUS Academy they won the last quarter on the field of Basket Budrio for 18-26, going very close to reopening a match that in the first two periods had seen them nailed in attack (17-6 e 31-15), while already in the third the reaction had begun, while finding himself underneath 20 and losing of 4 the partial (51-31).
Then, the last quarter. Started off strong, but most of all, after the hosts reacted, with "Oranges" to insist on playing their game, putting into practice all that Ivan Cicchelli he would tell them to shake off their anxiety and play basketball. We don't care about the -12 finale, and not even that 18-26 partial, but the substance, the charge, the encouragement among teammates and the renewed enthusiasm. Bravissimi, boys!
