It will be very important to have good reception and give continuity to our sideout.”
The Block Devils, who yesterday afternoon in full force together with president Sirci and with the Club World Cup on display, visited the editorial office of Corriere dell’Umbria to celebrate 40 years of activity of the Umbrian regional newspaper, will work on PalaBarton this morning, the afternoon of the 24th and also the afternoon of the 25th in view of the Boxing Day match when Allianz Milano will arrive at Pian di Massiano with kick-off at 6.00 pm and with live streaming on the Volleyballworld.tv web platform .
The presale is proceeding at full speed, a large turnout of the public is expected in the Perugian sports hall on Tuesday.
These are the words of Slovenian setter Gregor Ropret three days before the match.
“We want to show that we have learned what to improve from the defeat in Trento and we want to do it on the pitch by playing an important match against Milan also to give our fans a good victory. We know Milan well, they are a very disciplined team, which makes few mistakes, which works well in defense and which hits hard. It will be very important to have a good reception and give continuity to our sideout.”
Perugia, coming off the defeat of Trento, is looking for redemption in the championship. The Bianconeri, second, one point behind Trento, still have hopes of first place, but are not masters of their own destiny because Itas, with any victory in Padua, would remain in command at the halfway point and gain the top seed number one in the Italian Cup quarter-final grid.
