Just sixty-three days have passed since the Venetian derby which opened the Serie A3 Credem Banca championship. A derby, staged at the VHV Arena, and won on tie-break by Personal Time San Donà di Piave who had the merit of finishing the first round ahead of everyone. And to graduate, therefore, winter champion. Just over two months later, Belluno Volley is looking for revenge, in the match that kicks off the return round: this time in San Donà, Sunday 22 December (4pm).
PEPE – In addition to the territorial question, there is the ranking factor that makes the comparison even more peppery. Because the rhinos are second, just one point away from the leaders. In short, numbers in hand, it is in all respects a direct clash, at the highest odds. And the people from Belluno arrive at the match with a load of confidence guaranteed by the four consecutive victories: «In the last month we have developed a very profitable game, especially when serving – argues central defender Enrico Basso -. We are more efficient, we allow fewer errors. And we also showed off greater inventiveness in attack: this aspect allows us to get out of difficult situations better.” The poker of successes made it possible to straighten out the situation and archive a mixed start: «We are a group with quality and experience. Not many teams can boast a bench made up of potentially starting players.”
