Having archived the away success at the home of Leo Shoes Casarano with satisfaction, for Avimecc Volley Modica on Saturday there will be another challenging match against one of the big names in the Blue group of the A3 series championship.
In fact, at the “PalaRizza”, for the twenty-second day, Smartsystem Fano, the fourth force of the Third Series championship, will visit the “Galletti” of the County.
A match that the blue-and-whites will begin preparing from today, aware of the difficulties they will encounter, but aware that beating the Marche sextet would mean taking a big step forward towards winning the play-offs, the objective declared by the management at the beginning of the season.
“We knew that the points up for grabs in Casarano were important and for this reason – explains coach Enzo Distefano – I asked the team for an important approach to the match and the boys were very good at interpreting the match as we had prepared it. It was like a final, because from here to the end this is how we will have to interpret the matches. The whole team immediately had a winning attitude. Our serve immediately put the opponent’s reception in difficulty, which went into difficulty in the sideout phase, but we were good at the block-defense correlation and at counterattacking, this allowed us to dig the furrows in the scores of the first two partials. In the third set – he continues – there was a proud reaction from Casarano, who made fewer mistakes, also because we were less incisive in serving. The set was more balanced than the first two, but we weren’t able to close out the match. In the fourth set we didn’t lose our self-esteem for a single moment, we returned to raising our voices again and by starting to beat again as we did in the first two sets we put Casarano back in difficulty and deservedly brought home the three points. Honor to Casarano who tried to fight, but against a Volley Modica like the one on Sunday it would have been difficult for everyone. Now – concludes coach Distefano, after the day of well-deserved rest, starting today we will immediately head to Fano. The boys already know this because I already told them in the locker room on Sunday in Casarano at the end of the match. So everyone is working hard to prepare for this very difficult match that awaits us on Saturday in front of our fans who we will need so much.”
