December is a real marathon for Mondovì. They’ll be back in action this Wednesday night for the Italian Cup quarter-finals to be played home against Aversa. While this is an unprecedented fixture in the Serie A, the two teams met in June two years ago in the B1 playoffs and that marked Mondovì’s promotion in the Serie A.
Mauro Barisciani « This cup game comes at the right time to give us the opportunity to play right away without thinking about the defeat against Brescia – We have to use it as a trampoline for Saturday’s match in Montecchio. No pressure but I want to see a good performance. Aversa is the surprise of the group, they play with energy. The two foreigners they brought in were two great catch : I’m talking about setter Putini and spiker Hister. They have some exellent middle blockers too, and their exuberant character is their secret weapon. They make up for certain lackings with determination and anger ».
