Forget the first stop of the season and start again immediately, already in the next home match scheduled for Saturday 2 November, at 8.30 pm, against the newly promoted The Begin Volley Ancona. This is the categorical imperative at Gabbiano Farmamed, with sports director Nicola Artoni leading the charge.

«We knew of the difficulties we would encounter in Savigliano – he explains – and I congratulate them for the match they played. But now we’re turning the page, we’re having a good week of training and we’re more than excited for Saturday’s match against Ancona, to which we have the utmost respect. We arrive at this match with the awareness of our means, after having worked on what didn’t go in Piedmont.”

The physical ailments of the last few weeks are not intended to be an alibi: «I never like to find any – continues Artoni – also in light of the fact that we have 14 players, all potentially starting. The long bench will be our strength this year, as it was last season. No drama, but an immediate desire for redemption.”

If we really have to point out an aspect to improve, it can be linked to mental stability: «We will have to be good at never leaving matches, at not turning off the lights when things aren’t going well, perhaps for more than one exchange. It’s never easy, but we have the ability to do it.”

As mentioned, the appointment is set for Saturday 2 November on the PalaSguaitzer parquet, which aims to push Gabbiano Farmamed towards their second success in the Credem Banca A3 series championship.
