For the first game of the season, Tinet Prata has chosen a respectable opponent who will also be the team that Dante Boninfante’s yellow and blue will face in the championship debut on 8 October at PalaPrata. Delta Group Porto Viro has been a historic and respected opponent since the time of Serie B and will host Tinet Prata tomorrow at 19.00 for a training session.
An experienced and talented team that is a candidate as one of the most square in the category. The veteran setter Garnica arrived here after last year scored a double in the championship and the Italian Cup in Reggio Emilia together with Simone Scopelliti. But in all the roles the team of the president Veronese has players with great knowledge of the category. Sette, Vedovotto and Pierotti, in the middle Erati, Rocco Barone and Sperandio. In place 2 the Polish Krzsyek and Bellei, with Lamprecht and Russo as liberos.
Four absences, due to the U20 European Championships. For the Polesani there will be no coach Battocchio and the hitter Iervolino. Tinet, on the other hand, will have to do without Mattia Boninfante and the talent of Luca Porro, engaged in Vasto for the European Championships which will start on Saturday 17 September.
“The first game always brings with it a load of emotion and curiosity – is the philosophy of Dante Boninfante who confidently awaits the first outing on the parquet of his boys – in this case we will focus above all on our performance. This joint training will help us understand how we worked, what our progress is and what we still lack. What I will ask the boys is simply to break the ice, face the match with a smile and the right attitude, knowing that we will face a challenge that is not easy with an equal category. Porto Viro is a team that in my opinion is equipped to play a good championship, with players with great experience in the game and in the category. Garnica last year proved to be a winner and in this category I think there will be several setters who will make the difference compared to last year’s A3 level.We will be missing two players, but the race will be a great starting point to evaluate the our general condition and the work we still have to do “
