Reyer Venezia, Neven Spahija wants to open a new chapter

Sunday Reyer Venezia-GeVi Napoli at Taliercio

Recovering from a few too many stumbles in recent weeks, but also from the nice success in the Eurocup against Lietkabelis, which was worth the qualification to the round of 16 of the continental competition, Reyer Venezia looks forward to Sunday afternoon’s challenge against Napoli, at the Palasport Taliercio, aware of having to interrupt the positive series of the Campani (who are coming from three consecutive successes) to try to go up in the standings and not lose the playoff train.

The orogranata coach, Neven Spahija, è the first to want to open a new chapter in the championship: "It's a very important game for us,” he said. “We meet Napoli, which has been playing very well lately, scoring a lot of points. They are a good team, competitive and with a lot of talent, and also they have been preparing this game since the beginning of the week, but we are prepared and the two extra days we had helped us".

"We have to win, this year we have lost so many points at home and we want to do better,” added the Croatian coach.

The team is doing well, we are looking for balance within the roster that has great quality, every day we are improving. We are working on team chemistry, we are lagging behind, but we have to be patient".

In the league, Reyer Venezia shares ninth place with Treviso on 16 points. Eighth place, currently occupied by Tortona, is four points away. On the other hand, Napoli, after a strongly negative first part of the season, has bounced back with victories against Sassari, Treviso and Brescia, which allowed the Campania team to come out, at least for the moment, from the relegation zone.
