Block Devils in command of the standings, to keep the first place useful for the field factor in the semifinal and in the eventual final, just conquer a set tomorrow on the Paduan taraflex.
“We come from a good victory with Modena which brought us closer to first place”, says middle blocker Sebastian Solè. “Padova could be the last away match of the season, we are close, one set, to conquer the first position and we are going forward with this goal”.
Full squad for coach Anastasi who will decide the initial 6+1 only at the last minute which could be the one with Giannelli in control, Rychlicki diagonally, Flavio and Solè pair of central players, Plotnytskyi and Semeniuk receiver hammers and free Colaci.
Padova, 2 points so far with one win and two defeats, is looking for points to enter the four semifinalists. Without the Serbian opposite Petkovic, who left the group by mutual agreement with the club at the end of the regular season, coach Cuttini is rotating all his staff in these matches and tomorrow he could initially present the former Saitta in the control room with Guzzo in diagonally, Canella and Crosato in the center of the net, Takahashi and Gardini in place four with Zinger guarding the second row.
