Last away game of the regular season in the Superlega for Sir Safety Susa Perugia.
The black and white group left this morning for Taranto where tomorrow afternoon the Block Devils, with kick-off at the PalaMazzola at 18:00 and live streaming on the Volleyballworld.tv web platform, will face the hosts of Gioiella Prisma.
Returning from the defeat in the semi-final of the Italian Cup and from a full week of work at the PalaBarton, Perugia is therefore back on the field for the penultimate day of the Superlega and the first leg of a long journey that will then take the black and whites to Berlin where the first of the two acts of the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Berlin Recycling Volleys.
President Sirci’s team puts the championship back on track. He does so with the desire to react promptly after the first setback of the season and to get back on track in view of the final and most important phase of the season. The first place already in the safe and the nearby match on German soil could lead coach Anastasi to make some changes in the sextet during construction both for an optimal dosage of energy and to take the pulse of the general condition of the boys. Net of possible modifications, a starting 6+1 could be the one with Giannelli and Rychlicki diagonally in position 2, Russo and Flavio as a central pair, Plotnytskyi and Leon tandem in zone 4 and Colaci in his place as libero.
On the other side of the net there is instead a formation, the Gioiella Prisma Taranto, in full swing for salvation. The Apulians currently occupy the penultimate position, the last useful one to remain in the Superlega, with a point advantage over Siena and it is clear that they will take the field hungry for points. Coach Di Pinto should present at the kick-off the tested formation of the last period with Falaschi in direction, the young French Lawani (arrived in Taranto at the end of January and immediately a great protagonist) opposite, the ex Alletti paired with Larizza (school Lube) at the center of the net, the Canadian Loeppky and Antonov in seat four and Rizzo leading the operations on the second line.
