The White group of the Serie A3 Credem Banca championship has reached the halfway point, which constitutes the opportunity to draw up an initial assessment with the coach Marco Bartolini (assisted by Mirko Monaldi and Davide Marra) of ErmGroup Altotevere, who thanks to the 3- 0 from Brugherio has risen to seventh place in the rankings, reaching +1 on the pair made up of Monge Gerbaudo Savigliano and The Begin Volley Ancora, who will be opponent of the biancazzurri next Sunday, in the pre-Christmas round. “The first leg is over and at the beginning it wasn’t easy to make a prediction, nor to understand the ranking at this moment – ​​says Bartolini (in the photo) – because it is very strange. Speaking of our team, I don’t want to look for excuses: I’m happy with the journey we’ve made so far. Could we have done more, as some asked? Surely yes: we are working precisely towards this objective and to try to be ready for the return, perhaps removing a few stones from ourselves, which up until now – having endured – we have had to keep inside our pockets. The boys are very motivated, despite the various problems we have had to face, such as the injuries. It’s also not easy for the players to live in an emergency situation during the week and train without being able to push because the conditions weren’t ideal.” Not forgetting that this year the staff has been rejuvenated.
