Cisterna Volley is involved in the last friendly tournament before the start of the Super League season. In Gubbio the Pontine team will be able to continue working with the team finally complete after the arrival of the last two Serbian internationals: the striker Pavle Peric and the central defender Aleksandar Nedeljkovic. Coach Guillermo Falasca will use the latest friendlies to collect data and take note of the level achieved and understand whether the specific work may have brought about the desired improvements. From now on we will be able to play with the team that the Spanish coach had imagined in the summer and the pitch will provide the long-awaited feedback.
In Gubbio today (Saturday) at 18:00 Cisterna Volley will challenge Padova while at 15:00 Panathinaikos will face Taranto. The final for third place is scheduled for tomorrow (Sunday) at 3:00 pm and the grand final at 6:00 pm.
In recent weeks the French opposite Theo Faure has been the most incisive in the offensive phase, always being the most effective in attack and sharp from the nine-metre line. The player of the Transalpine national team is settling into his new life in Cisterna and is discovering ever new corners of an area that intrigues and fascinates him at the same time.
«As regards the new season, at this point we can say that it is approaching very quickly and we have undergone a very long physical preparation – explains Theo Faure, opposite of Cisterna Volley – Some players have arrived at ongoing preparation after their experiences in the various national teams, first came Jordi Ramon, then Efe Bayram and finally the two Serbian national team players Peric and Nedeljkovic. Now we can really say that we are complete and finally we will all be in this last test in Umbria before the official start of the championship: I am happy to start and see how we will be at this start of the season also because we will meet a team like Trento and we will meet directly catapulted into the high level of the Super League.”
«As for me, I am very happy to be here in Cisterna since the beginning of the preparation, this was very important for me and for my growth, I had all the time to adapt to this new reality”.
