The only possibility foreseen: victory. The Toucans want to take the challenge to the beauty and to do so, success at home against Emma Villas is mandatory.

After a performance well below the possibilities of the group of blue and white athletes, the coach from Brescia ensures his team’s commitment and desire for revenge and promises the San Filippo public an Easter Monday full of sporting satisfaction.

“We are confident of reaching Race 3 – confirms coach Zambonardi -: we want to make up for Wednesday’s test at PalaEstra and we are training with great concreteness to give a good performance to the public who have been following us all season and who we expect in large numbers in the afternoon of Easter Monday.”

In the other half of the pitch, Emma Villas can play without pressure and will actually try to take advantage of the pressure on the Toucans’ shoulders to close the score as early as Monday, guaranteeing the pass to the semi-final in advance. Graziosi’s starting six will most likely be confirmed: Nevot as playmaker with Krauchuk, Trillini and Copelli in the centre, Pierotti and Tallone as banda and Bonami in the libero role.

If Brescia wins, Game 3 will be played on Sunday 7 April in Siena.

In case of defeat, the Italian Cup path opens up for Consoli which starts with the round of 16 on 14 April, at home against Reggio Emilia.

The live streaming can be followed from 6pm on the Volleyball World TV platform.
