In this moment the real enemy of Dinamo is the temptation to despair, even before the tiredness for the four races in eight days with a roster shortened by three to four absences at a time. The defeat against Malaga in the Champions League (87-76) can be seen in the strength and depth of a team that can afford the luxury of having a player like Ejim as twelfth, who a few years ago in Venice was fourth in terms of minutes.
Fatalism and disconnect after the three consecutive defeats must be avoided. We must put aside the regrets for the Italian Super Cup and the remorse for the misstep in Varese. We must find that compactness admired in pre-season, where certainly the pressure is little, but it must also be remembered that in addition to Treier and later Devecchi also Robinson and Jones were missing.
On Sunday comes the newly promoted Verona, a formation that instead has morale in a thousand after the debut with a victory over Brindisi. It is a race to be won more with the head and the character than with the quality of the game or with the residual energy left. Because only victory can restore the smile and the momentum lost after the defeat in the Super Cup final.
