Dinamo Sassari host Victoria Libertas Pesaro on Wednesday November 11 at 8:30 p.m. at the PalaSerradimigni, in the ninth round of Serie A2. Ahead of the game, head coach Luca Vitali spoke about the group’s progress, the difficulties caused by injuries and the need to maintain confidence and intensity. The match against Pesaro comes after a 70-67 loss away to Cividale.
Vitali described a team making progress in its play, but still hampered by a short roster. The coach thanked the medical staff for their work with the players and described Pesaro as a high-quality opponent, with plenty of experience and contributions from its foreign players. The team from the Marche region, he recalled, had had a strong season the year before and had started the current one with a run of wins.

Monaldi’s availability for the game would be assessed after Tuesday’s practice, while Nze’s return looked more difficult because the player had not yet trained. Vitali hopes to recapture the intensity shown in front of the Sassari crowd against Caserta and make the team more solid on defense. He acknowledged that fatigue can affect clarity of thought, but pointed to the character shown in the closing stages of recent games as a sign to build on.
According to the coach, the group is growing in confidence and must keep working on its understanding and consistency. “Now we also need results, though,” he observed, reiterating that the players care deeply about the club and the project. Vitali also explained that he sees his coaching experience as a process of growth, alternating between encouragement and admonitions depending on how the game is unfolding.
Michele Vitali, the coach’s brother and a blue-and-white player, also stressed that intensity and consistency would be needed for all 40 minutes. The guard said he was still undergoing treatment for a hand fracture and wanted to gradually regain his best form. After a spell without playing for an extended period, his goal is to consistently contribute quality minutes to the team. He added that the confidence shown in him by his teammates and the club encourages him to keep working.
