With his 233 points and 14 matches, Peter Platenik is the 5th strongest player of the Serie A1. The czeck athelete is in great shape and the last few matches confirm that. He does not like showing off though even though he knows he is on top form. “It is a shape we went through an unfortunate time – he says – with many players missing at the same time due to physical problems. Perazzolo’s absence forced the other spikers to work twice as much. That is also why I am scoring more points after Milano.
Against Latina we must win and we want to win and if we play like we did in the last match against Roma, I do not think we will have many problems. Sure, there are some delicate matches ahead so we have to be concentrated, especially psycologically.
With Piacenza, the fact that the first set was given from a team to the other by the referee has cut our legs off and we found it difficult to react.
In Rome we could have even won but our opponents were very strong in each role. Now we have along period of important challenges ahead and we have to prove our value, despite the opponent”.
Talking about the Italian Cup on the 27th of february in Bassano for the Final Eight, Platenik declares: “In these competitions it is better to meet the strongest teams from the beginning because there is nothing to lose so against Cuneo we will all want to do well. This is the first time I take past in the Tim Cup A1: I desperately want to be there to help the team getting some satisfaction”.
