“We are playing against a team that has always done an extraordinary job in recent years.” Thus begins the chat with Massimiliano Ortenzi, young coach of Yuasa Battery who on Sunday 3 November at 6pm will host the European Champions of ‘Itas Trentino. Pride and emotion, therefore, are the first feelings of those who, for the first time in the Super League, find themselves facing one of the most successful and successful teams in Italian volleyball, full of champions and the main reservoir of the Italian national team CT Fefè De Giorgi. “Trento is a club that has achieved great results in the Super League – continues Ortenzi – but has also been able to build a lot over the past seasons, investing heavily year after year in young and Italian players”. , Lavia, Sbertoli, Laurenzano, the cornerstones of the Italian team, is anything but random. “He is certainly a model for everyone, not just for us. Seeing them here will be an emotion, because playing against the European champion team is something important thing: playing against guys who were at the Olympics, who represented Italy, must be a source of pride for us, which in some way must gratify us for this journey. But at the same time, we don’t want to be here watching Trento have a parade, but we want to try to make their lives as difficult as possible.”
So far, many certificates of esteem have been received by Yuasa Battery from professionals, to which this week were added those issued by Daniele Lavia, the blue star and the Trentino team, who spoke of Grottazzolina as a sporting fairytale, but also of a now consolidated reality.
