Lights back on the champiosnhip tomorrow evening after the Olympics break with Lube hosting Acqua Paradiso Montichiari at Palasport Fontescodella, The Regular Season match will define the Eight teams who will play in the Italian Cup.
“No calculations allowed before the match – recommends spiker Paparoni – it could lead us to the wrong approach which could be dangerous. Our only aim must be victory on wednesday, to qualify for the Final Eight of course, but also to start 2008 in a good way and forget about the bad performance in Rome before the match. I believe breaks are not good for a player, but in the past 2 weeks we have worked well both from a physicla and a technical point of view, mainly working on the problems we had in the first part of the season”.
WHITE&RED QUALIFYED IF – Lube has 20 points in the standings together with Modena, Padova nad Treviso, but they are 6th in terms of sets won. Inorder to automatically qualify for the Final Eight, De Giorgi’s men will just need to win one set. Montichiari will need to win 3-0 instead.
GERIC ABSENT– The Serbian middle blocker, back yesterday from Turkey with an ankle dislocation will have to work with the physiotherapist and will obviously not be able to play tomorrow.
