The good performance at the “Forum” in Macerata was not enough for Avimecc Volley Modica to return home with a few more points in the standings from the match against the leaders of the Blue group of the A3 series championship.
The blue and whites archive the defeat against Banca Macerata without too many regrets and from this afternoon they will focus on the match at 6pm on Boxing Day, when they will host the Calabrian side Omifer Palmi at the “PalaRizza”.
An important match for the sextet led by Stefano Chillemi, who in the event of full success could access the Italian Cup phase in their category.
Coach Enzo Distefano takes stock of the stoppage in Macerata and how the team is preparing for the important home match on 26 December.
“As I had asked the boys, unlike the match against Fano, in Macerata the approach to the match was positive – declares the coach of the ‘Galletti’ – we entered the field with the right determination and concentrated above all on the fundamentals and in the phase sideout. In the first two sets, in fact, Spagnol, Capelli and Chillemi put Macerata in difficulty with their attacks. Macerata as a team built to win and whose qualities we knew, they always managed to come out and keep us within two three points in each set thanks above all to the great qualities of their hitters. Let’s put aside this defeat by taking credit for the performance and not the result, because when you return home without points there is always a hint of disappointment, but – he continues – from this afternoon we will get back to work to prepare for the delicate match with Palmi with whom we will close our first round. We play in front of our fans who have always given us an extra push. In fact, at the “PalaRizza”, we only lost on our debut against Lagonegro, we hope to close the ascending phase of this championship in a totally different way. With Palmi it’s a delicate match because a full victory for us could propel us into the Italian Cup zone. I am confident in the work we have done so far and that we will continue to do and – concludes coach Enzo Distefano – from now on I invite our fans to follow us in large numbers on the 26th too, because we really need their support and their warmth”.
