After the two days of rest granted by coach Lorenzetti, Sir Susa Vim Perugia returned to base this morning.
Physical work in the weight room this morning, technical session in the afternoon at PalaBarton for the Block Devils who thus started the preparation for the big match on Sunday in Pian di Massiano when Cucine Lube Civitanova will arrive for the third return match of the Super League. The presale is proceeding at full speed with the possibility of purchasing online directly from the website www.vivaticket.it and at all vivaticket sales points (to find the nearest one check the following link https://shop.vivaticket.com/it/ricercapv) .
After the good start to 2024 with the victories against Modena in the Italian Cup and with Monza in the championship, the fiery January continues for the Bianconeri who will experience a period full of important events with Civitanova and Taranto at home, the away match against Modena in the middle and closing with a bang with the Final Four of the Italian Cup on 27 and 28 January at the Unipol Arena in Casalecchio di Reno. A very challenging January therefore in terms of the standings and with the third title of the season up for grabs.
However, Lorenzetti, his staff and all the players are now focused only on Sunday’s super match against one of the top teams in the Super League. The second and fourth teams in the league are on the field at the Pian di Massiano facility with Civitanova coming to Perugia after the midweek Champions League match played last night in Romania (painless 3-2 defeat with first place in their Pool already in safe) and returning, remaining in the championship, from last Sunday’s success at home against Padova.
9 wins and 4 defeats so far in the Super League for coach Blengini’s boys and third direct match of the season after the Super Cup final won in the fifth set by Perugia and the first leg of the regular season match where Civitanova won in the tie break. And if the numbers of the championship in the various fundamentals so far see the Block Devils being preferred to the Marches, the two matches played against each other testify to the great balance on the pitch between the two teams.
It will also be a match full of exes with Davide Candellaro on one side (a Scudetto and an Italian Cup won in the Lube shirt) and with Luciano De Cecco, Ivan Zaytsev and Simone Anzani on the other, three protagonists of the Juventus treble (Super Cup, Italian Cup and Scudetto) in the 2017-2018 season (also another Super Cup and another Italian Cup for the Argentine director in the Sir shirt).
