The Block Devils are on their way to Turkey for the opening game of the Champions League Pool E against Halkbank ankara. Funnily enough this is where coach Lorenzo Bernardi spent the last two years of his career before joining Perugia. And there’s another coincidence : two years ago, Perugia’s full debut in the top European competition had been precisely against Ankara, which was then coached by Bernardi. Ankara is now coached by another Italian, Placì, and they have as their main men spiker Akhrem, Olympic Champion Felipe (Brazil) and outside hitter Miljkovic.
