The point made against Montichiari reassured Taranto but Roma only gave away a tie break in 5 matches: Palasport will host the same match as last year’s quarter finals.
Impossible to forget is last year’s play offs quarter finals full of rivalry.
Roma has changed from last season though. Coscione, Marshall e Miljkovic helped putting together what it looks to be the most complete team of the championship.
Roma is a volley machine that match after match got to the top of the standings with 15 points so far out of 18.
But Prisma is not scared knowing that it will be very hard to get a result.
Roma – Taranto: class on one side, heart on the other side, it will be fun.
HISTORY – 4 matches played, 2 each. In 2000/2001 they both won a match before Roma desappearance from Volley.
A special match for Giacomo Giretto, in Taranto for 4 years and for Leandro Vissotto, owned by the Romans.
PRISMA SPEAKING – Montichiari reassured the Club. Vissotto is back and showe it with 27 balls on the ground which put him to the top of the successful attack and points per set (4.94 and 5.82 lhis averages).
Blocking is better too: Rak and Vulin put together 26 points and the czeck in 3rd position in the middle blockers’ standings (Mastrangelo first).
Good for Castellano and Petrarca too with 65% and 56% at PalaGeorge.
Sime Vulin said yesterday: “We know all the pressure will be on their side and at the same time we are aware that we could win againsgt anybody. That is why the Serie A1 TIM championship is so great: the balance is always amazing and the team at the bottom can always beat the one at the top. We need to play with calm and a peace of mind. We are going to fight and I believe Roma Taranto will be a very good match”.
