Time for the semi-finals to begin. Molfetta starts off 1-0 up thanks to its better regular season results as Castello will host game 2 and try to immediately tie the series. The bad news is that the club will be without Lehtonen and Noda Blanco, both on International duty, but the team already proved it could do fine even when it was hit with injuries. Città di Castello won 3-2 at the start of the season away, while in the return game Molfetta was defeated 3-0.
“We have worked extremely hard this week to re-organize everything as we’ll be without the two foreigners – explained coach Radici – Some youngsters gave us a hand in training and we thank them for that (Mor, Massari, Fedrizzi and our Toto Rossini). We’ll give everything we have, we are in good shape, but we are aware that in the situation we’re in, it’s impossible that everything goes as smooth as silk”.
