Luigi Datome, 27: against Iceland reported a distraction left adductor muscle
->
Rome – The minimum wage, considering the values in the field and the expectations that have been created around this National. A narrow defeat against Turkey (score but rather a liar, so the limitations were highlighted blue), a huge victory with suffering against Iceland . That is enough to be in the running for qualification to the second phase of the Europeans, despite not offensive game, despite the defensive shortcomings, despite the physical problems that ask for the bill.
The Italian captain Gigi Datome , one of the most crucial players and representative of the group, is out of action until the end of the competition for a distraction muscle of First Instance left adductor. “And tomorrow (this morning, ed) we will know if we will have Belinelli,” added the coach Simone Pianigiani, because when it rains sometimes hail.
Hunt guilty
> It is clear to everyone, even to him (the true litmus test as coach), it expressed that the game is not even distant relative of the one you want, from the highest levels (the president Petrucci from the many proclamations) to the most optimistic fan dreamer. And since we are in Italy and it seems that the social have invented them on purpose, started the hunt for the culprit and the usual barrage of recipes for adjustments. “Now we have Spain, the training stronger than the group in my opinion. I was worried on July 20, are worried now. We have little use in these situations also at the physical level, but we say this for some time. ”
What absolute values as the Spain , the opponent tonight, no rain is stronger and there is not even wonder what might count this game for coach Sergio Scariolo (that with Pianigiani and his Siena had a turbulent relationship to say the least, as manager of Milan) is a very strong team especially where Italy is suffering: treatment of the ball (and consequent capacity to make it turn), with its battery of guards extraordinary level, physical size and depth under the basket, where there are pianist Gasol , the journeyman (luxury) Reyes, the instinct for the basket of Mirotic.
The most difficult challenge
Against this abundance we will work overtime to our long, those roles and those who – like Danilo Gallinari – for tactical needs and to make a virtue of necessity should also invent pivot to try to remove any reference to the opponents. “I am very sorry for Gigi and I know how you might feel because I’ve spent so many moments like these – Gallo says – we will play for him. We still have three games and the road is long. Against Spain will not be hard to find motivation , because they are among the strongest players in the world. We will control the turnovers and not grant rebounds in a formation that has more centimeters and weight of us. ” If we succeed, we’ll know tonight (at 21, Sky Sports 3).
