Even the ‘return’ joint training session between Pool Libertas Cantù and Conad Reggio Emilia, this time played at the PalaFrancescucci in Casnate with Bernate, ended 3-1 in favor of the Cantù team. 4 sets of good intensity in which Coach Francesco Denora Caporusso was able to try different solutions.
Coach Francesco Denora Caporusso starts with Matteo Pedron as setter, Kristian Gamba as opposite, Lorenzo Magliano and Giuseppe Ottaviani as spikers, Dario Monguzzi and Jonas Aguenier as central defenders, and Luca Butti as libero. During the joint training the Cantù coach tested almost all the players at his disposal, obtaining good responses from everyone.
The first set starts in balance, then Pool Libertas takes the lead several times (8-4, 13-10, 18-13); Conad always came back behind (10-9, 13-12, 20-18) but without managing to gain a lead (25-21). In the second set Reggio Emilia takes the lead (1-5, 2-7); Cantù scores at 9, slowly runs away (12-10, 15-12, 18-14, 21-16, 23-18) and closes with Aguenier (25-20). At the beginning of the third set, the Canturini team tried to extend the lead (8-5, 13-8), but the Reggio Emilia team scored at 15 points and overtook with Volpe’s turn to serve (15-17); There is no lack of reaction from the Lombards, who overturn everything and close with Gamba (25-23). In the fourth set the hosts took advantage of some errors by the guests and took the lead (4-0); the Emilians score at 8 and the score continues in a draw until Sperotto’s ace and Gasparini’s attack which closes the game (24-26).
The Canturini’s top scorer is Kristian Gamba (18 ground balls with 55% in attack), followed by Giuseppe Ottaviani at 13. Good in service, with 7 aces against 17 errors, but not very good in reception (42% with 7 aces conceded). The block is already ‘on the ball’, with 7 points scored in this fundamental game.
