Cucine Lube Civitanova is excited approaching the internal match on Sunday 19 February (6.00 pm) against Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza, a match valid for the ninth day of return of the Regular Season. It’s a special week for the red and white spiker Marlon Yant, a close friend of Robertlandy Simon and also very close to two of the other four exes, namely Yoandy Leal and Ricardo Lucarelli, for their past as teammates at Lube. In the standings, the two teams are tied at 30 points, but the Italian champions have their heads ahead for the best set quotient with one game still to be recovered. Captain Luciano De Cecco and his teammates want to hold on to fourth place and, at the same time, gnaw points from the teams that precede them in the standings
The words of Marlon Yant: “For me it is something great, at these levels, to face friends to compete for such an important stake. On Sunday, at the Eurosole Forum against Piacenza, it will be really nice to meet again as rivals Yoandy Leal, Ricardo Lucarelli and Robertlandy Simon, athletes with whom since my arrival in Italy I have shared many matches on the same side of the net, winning a lot. It makes me strange to find them all at once in Civitanova Marche as opponents. Moreover, the stakes are very important, we are fighting for fourth place. From the first joke against Gas Sales my grit will be the same as always… maybe even more than usual. For us it will be like a Game 5 of the Finale, we will give everything to prevail and make the fans rejoice. Is my contribution growing? There are no secrets, just method and training. I focused in the gym on the aspects to improve and I’ve always had the full support of the red and white staff”.
