Venice vs. former great De Raffaele: "Team of the highest level"

Umana Reyer Venezia will visit big ex Walter De Raffaele’s Bertram Derthona on Saturday, in what will be a direct clash between two teams close to the playoff zone. De Raffaele thus è presented the game against his former team.

"They are a team of the highest level, built with a roster to go all the way in all competitions, Serie A and Eurocup. It has a lot of players who can hurt, one of the important things will be to defensively contain their offensive talent that is expressed in so many ways, in the open court with Ennis, Parks and Wiltjer himself, in the area with the presence of Kabengele, who is having an excellent season".

"Difficult, therefore, to be able to focus on just one element of their roster. It will beà important as well to equalize the physical impact and the rebounding struggle, becauseé è a team structured physically in a high".

"From the positive game in Germany – continues – we have to carry with us for the championship the connection and concentration maintained in all moments of the meeting, with the desire to continue to cooperate and defend especially when the opponents tried to come back. This è is essential to have continuity, because è what there’è has been lacking, beyondà cup or championship, home or away, è this continuous focus in dealing with every match as every match, particularly in Serie A, è is open in any direction".
