Modena, one fo the Big ones of the Serie A1 TIM championship is not exactly the indeal opponent to get familiar with the regular season again after the second break of the season.
4th in the standings with 20 points, they will come to Taranti certain of closing teh first leg in the top eight teams therefore qualifying for the Italian Cup’s Final Eight, but they will want to score points to avoid some unpleasant matching (Treviso and Cuneo above all).
PRISMA TARANTO speaking – “It will be very emotional playing against my ex team, also because this year there are very few players in this team I have played with before. It is just another match which we need to try and win. It was not a fortunate experience for me, even if I consider it a positive one given Modena is oneof the biggest Italian clubs that builds stron teams every year. It is a shame I have not able to play ongoingly in the two years I was there due to physical problems therefore I have not been able to give everything I wanted to give” – says middle blocker Rak who cannot understand why Modena does not win anything for a while (Cev Cup in 2004).
“Thinking about the direct challenge against Corigliano is a mistake because we have two home matches to dal with first against Modena and Milano from which we could get important points for our standings.
In fact, I believe we can express ourselves better against stronger teams, look at how we played against Treviso, Macerata or Piacenza”.
HISTORY 8 matches between the teams with 6 won by Modena and 2 by Taranto.
