First joint training for the Serie A3 of Volleyball 2001 Garlasco, this week guest of Powervolley Milano, training in his ninth season in the SuperLega. Now in its third week of preparation, the group faces its first seasonal outing on the pitch of the Powervolley Academy tensile structure, measuring itself against the quality of the Milanese training, not yet complete given the commitments of the many national teams involved in the World Cup.
“The appointment in Milan – comments coach Bertini – was not a friendly or test match, but in all respects a” joint training “. On the other side of the network there were some elements of absolute value: two high-level power plants such as Matteo Piano and Marco Vitelli, former owners of Superlega; a libero, Nicola Pesaresi, unanimously considered among the best in Italy; an excellent opposite, Klistan Lawrence, who, despite a young age, showed physical, athletic and even technical skills of the highest profile; and finally one of the rising stars of Italian volleyball, that Paolo Porro who, at the age of 20, amazed everyone as director of Milan in his first year as a starter in A1. In short, despite the lack of important pieces, the test was significant above all for countering a really strong reception-dribble-attack axis, from the first half and from places 1 and 2 ”.
The declared goal was to start testing the dynamics of the game, stimulated by the quality fielded by Powervolley: “So the boys were asked to understand it: a training session, in another place, and with new teammates. There have been ups and downs, as is natural in this period – continues Bertini – but several significant elements have emerged, especially regarding the predisposition of individuals and their first “team relationships”. We have struggled in all those aspects that require “mechanism”; while some distinct individual characteristics have already emerged. Of course we are still a long way from optimal form as well as from team play… and luckily! Otherwise training would have no value! ”.
One month after the first championship, the series of exits that will bring the boys to the starting line in the best condition begins. Already today we take the field again in a triangular in Savigliano: “Saturday morning will be the first real friendly. On that occasion we will not have made significant progress in building the “team” but we will certainly have less desuetude to see each other together, inside that 9×9 ”concludes the coach.
