There is no time at Vigilar Fano to celebrate the invigorating success against Savigliano as the virtussini are expected from the delicate away match in the Veneto region (Friday 17 February at 20.30) at the home of Paolo Tofoli’s Volley Team San Donà, a team that is struggling to save himself and he badly needs to score points.
The Volley Team has a tally of 20 points in the standings, the result of 8 wins and 12 defeats and boasts a double record, namely of being the team that has won the most tie breaks (5) but of also having been the one that has suffered the most defeats for 0-3 (9). San Donà, for statistical purposes, was also one of the five teams that defeated the battleship Pineto: “Complicated game – says coach Castellano – moreover played away from home against an opponent who needs salvation points. However, we must continue on the path we have taken and play at our best to bring home success”.
In addition to Paolo Tofoli, the virtussini will find the former Christian Mazzanti and two spikers to keep an eye on such as the Greek Angelos Mandilaris and the Triestine David Umek: the former is fifth in the ranking of top scorers commanded by the Vigilar Fano striker Christoph Marks .
There is still uncertainty regarding the presence on the field of Mirco Dalmonte and Stefano Gozzo.
In particular, the virtussino, spared by Castellano in the match against Savigliano, had another week to train and his physical condition improved. Fano, however, has very valid cartridges to rely on: starting with Federico Roberti and then moving on to a Pier Paolo Partenio who is gradually integrating with the group from game to game.
