Sitting in the weight room and working in groups with the ball today for the Block Devils who are preparing for the trip to Puglia where next Sunday, November 10th, with the kick-off postponed to 7pm, they will take the field with Gioiella Prisma Taranto by coach Dante Boninfante.
«From Boninfante to Boninfante!» coach Angelo Lorenzetti had commented last Sunday, when at the PalaEvangelisti Sir Susa Vim Perugia had met, just one day before this now imminent trip, the son of the coach from Taranto: the very young Mattia Boninfante, who this year leads the control room of the Lube.
«I’m going to a dear person for me and this is the first thing, then it’s clear that we go there and we have to try to score points, but it’s an immense pride to see him there, he’s making a journey that is a gratitude for me, for that which he also gave me as a player: it will be a truly special day for me.”
Coach Boninfante also comments from the “city of the two seas”: «Sunday will probably be the most difficult match we will face compared to all the ones we have played so far. Perugia is a team that has won everything and needs no introduction: I expect the boys to take to the field with the fighting spirit of the challengers, trying to use all our weapons and our ways to put Perugia in difficulty. Above all to offer an adequate and beautiful show to the public who will come to PalaMazzola. Furthermore, for me it is a special match because for the first time I will face on the bench my first coach of many years as well as my first teacher Angelo Lorenzetti.
