Basketball A2, Udine and Cividale towards the derby on Wednesday 15/1

Gesteco Cividale is sharpening its weapons in view of the Carnera derby on Wednesday 15 January 2025 at 8:30 pm.
Udine is coming off a home win against Verona (86-70) and Cividale from a success on the difficult parquet of Forlì (79-82); a show is guaranteed for a sold-out Carnera.
the match will be broadcast live on the LNP platform or delayed in free-to-air on digital terrestrial by Telefriuli.
The referees will be Enrico Boscolo Nale from Chioggia (Ravenna), Stefano Wassermann from Trieste and Jacopo Pazzaglia from Pesaro.

Stefano Pillastrini: “Tomorrow we will play against one of the best teams in the championship and that has many weapons, especially a significant physicality in all roles, so we will have to play a game of great intelligence combined with great intensity. It is clear that we will have to surpass ourselves and do something special, especially in terms of compactness, without taking too heavy breaks as they have so many shooters, so much physical strength that, if we get discouraged, in an instant we would go down by a lot. So this is the recipe, play our basketball, defend without conceding anything easy and attack to create good shots. We will have to take what the game gives us and be ready to ride the situations, knowing that we will have to play a special game”.

Lucio Redivo: “It will be a tough and physical game: they are a good team, they are playing well and they pass the ball well. We will have to be attentive and focused in every action, without relaxing even for a moment, play our game by staying focused for the entire forty minutes and continuing to play without distorting ourselves, as we are doing".
