After a Monday rest, Cucine Lube Civitanova returned to the gym this morning for a session in the weight room, while the first technique training will take place in the afternoon to prepare for the home match of the 7th round of return in SuperLega Credem Banca . In fact, on Sunday February 5, the Italian champions will host the Top Volley Cisterna of Fabio Soli, a formation that surprised the red and whites in Cisterna di Latina in the first round by winning 3-0.
There are five games left at the end of the Regular Season, translated into 15 useful points to reach the Play Off Scudetto in the best possible position. Starting with the internal challenge with the Pontine team, captain Luciano De Cecco and his teammates want to get back on track after a month of January to forget in the league, with four defeats on the back and only 1 point to his credit. Situation soothed by an immaculate journey in the Champions League, worth direct landing with all victories in the Quarterfinals, which in March will offer an adrenaline-pumping double confrontation with the Turks of Halkbank Ankara.
The fact is that in the top flight a change of pace is needed and the Chicco Blengini staff work with the group in search of greater concreteness. The glass half full in the defeat at the tie break with WithU Verona is the reaction of the cooks, surprised by the unprecedented arrangement of the Scala players, but able to take measures in the third and fourth set and then be betrayed by a weak start to the tie break without however stop fighting. The Lube is at an altitude of 27 in cohabitation with the Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza (direct clash at the Eurosuole Forum on Sunday 19 February). The gap behind Itas Trentino and Valsa Group Modena, second and third, is 5 points.
