It’s time to return to the friendly walls of the PalaSanGiorgio for the Monge-Gerbaudo Savigliano who, with an early start time of 8pm, awaits the Sarlux Sarroch on Saturday 27 January for the eighteenth matchday of the Girone Bianco of the Serie A3 Credem Banca.
The opponent. A complex match for the white and blues, who host a confident team, hungry for points to get out of the hot spots in the standings and fresh from a precious success (3-1 in the direct clash against Bologna). An identikit in some ways similar to the one made for Gamma Chimica Brugherio, who beat Dutto and his teammates in the tie-break last week, but the difference between the two teams is clear. The most obvious, from the point of view of experience. The islanders are a team full of experienced players, who know the category well and who know well how to deal with matches of this type. Above all, the name of Marco Fabroni stands out, an extremely expert setter who has often been the protagonist, even with other shirts, in matches against the Saviglianese team. Pay attention, then, to the quality of the Sardinian attack, by far the strong point of the team coached by coach Giombini. Sarlux, for example, has similar percentages of performance to those of Saviglinao in terms of winning attacks per set (12.60 for the Piedmontese, 12.50 for Sarroch) and can count on Riccardo Romoli, eighth best scorer in the category with 287 points.
Monge-Gerbaudo Savigliano here. Coach Lorenzo Simeon’s boys have used the week that is now coming to an end to reorganize their ideas and get back into the right rhythm in view of the next two delicate home matches (after Sarroch it will be Bologna’s turn at the PalaSanGiorgio), which could say a lot about the short-term future of the Piedmontese. “It will be a complex race, to be faced with the right attention. Sarroch is confident and, in addition to the match won against Bologna, he has had at least four matches in which he raised his level, getting out of the shaky areas of the standings. We metabolized Brugherio’s knockout, in which we made some mistakes, but in which the excellent performance of our opponents certainly also had an impact. We will have to be good at raising the level and, above all, serving well to try to make their reception difficult and, consequently, their dribbling, which with Fabroni is undoubtedly one of their strong points.”
