Saturday 10 December 2022. Second consecutive victory for the Under 17, and defense is the decisive factor. The mix of "Oranges & Reds" driven by Ivan Cicchelli e Samuele Naldi first of all it demonstrates the goodness of the group, which had already been noted against Francesco Francia, and play a square game, also touching the +10 in the third period and without ever coming unstuck in moments of decline, but always managing to regain control. The decisive example came in the final minutes: resumed at altitude 56, ours have placed a series of decisive defensive and offensive plays, beating Pol. Castelfranco for 62 a 56.
The break-in of the team is still in progress, in some ways. Despite the fifth day of the first leg being played, it's just the third outing for the boys in the red and white shirt, after the start of Championship delayed, the rest in the first round, the defeat by only one length to Barca with Fortitudo Academy 103 discounting the tension of the debut, then the convincing victory against Francesco Francia e, after the postponement requested by Libertas San Felice, this new victory at PalaSport Cavina against Pol. Castelfranco.
but yet, as we said, the group is there and it can already be seen. He has no experience on his side - there are only three i 2006 (of which one resumed in mid-November and the other has not yet debuted), all others are 2007 - and it is not obvious to merge two nuclei together, how did it happen between Atletico Basket ed IRRESISTIBLE Bologna, but when it lights up it manages to make enthusiasm prevail, which on the pitch means playing while having fun. And when he gets into the right gear on defense, the results can all be seen even in attack.
