Emma Villas Siena returned to victory in the championship. It did so, 3-1, against Delta Group Porto Viro, a strong team, which in this championship had already been able to win at the home of leaders Ravenna in what was, so far, the only defeat in the tournament for Consar.
The Sienese needed a success, after having been defeated in the four previous matches. It was also the match in which Gabriele Nelli returned to the field, out due to a physical problem that prevented him from taking part in the matches of recent weeks.
The Sienese’s next match will be away against Tinet Prata of Pordenone on Sunday.
“We managed to play well against Porto Viro – is the comment of Emma Villas Siena centre-back, Victorio Ceban. – We’ve had a lot of problems over the past few weeks, but we’re finally fully booked now. Against Delta Group we were good both in blocking and in attack, we coordinated better. We made a few too many mistakes on the serve, we can always improve. Prata di Pordenone is in a good position in the rankings and is playing very well. It will be a complicated undertaking, but we can certainly give it a hard time.”
On Sunday, Emma Villas suffered the vehement start of the Delta Group which was boosted by the play of Pedro Henrique Ferreira Silva, author of 7 points in the first set. The same player who was the absolute protagonist in game 2 of the playoff semi-finals of last championship, when he dragged his team to success.
