Piacenza is facing one of the most important games of the season so far. On Thursday night, it will take on the super power of Zenit Kazan. The Russians have consolidated stars such as Apalikov, Sivozhelez, Spiridonov, Verbov, Mikhailov, Anderson, Venero, and Merouflakrani. Last year, it was precisely Kazan who knocked out Piacenza in the playoffs 6. Kazan is currently second in the Russian league behind Belgorod.
“I don’t think I’ll be wrong If I say this is currently the best team in the world – said coach Radici – This should only be a motivation for all the players who have never played in the playoffs 12 and never played against such strong players. This is an exceptional opportunity for many, maybe even everybody. Sport is also made of surprises. We know this is a mission impossible but we also know we have nothing to lose”.
