This morning at PalaPanini the renewal of the partnership with CPL Concordia was presented, with the President of the company Paolo Barbieri present, together with the central manager of the Valsa Group Dragan Stankovic who spoke about the match won against Padova and the next round scheduled for Sunday in Taranto .
“The match against Padova showed off our good play in the centre – explains Stankovic – it’s certainly not possible for every match to be like this, but with De Cecco we knew straight away that we centre-backs would have fun. Starting from the bench has happened to me other times in my career, for example when at Lube I couldn’t start to respect the number of Italians on the pitch, it’s a situation that I know how to manage, I’m confident in what I can do and as long as I feel this good I’ll give the maximum to be of help to the team. We had a difficult start to the championship, then two consecutive victories and the defeat against Cisterna at home which upset us a bit, this was seen above all in Civitanova where we played very badly. The match against Padova was fundamental for us to get back up, at the beginning we were under pressure, but from the third set we found a good rhythm. It’s a very difficult championship, Taranto has just shown against Lube that they are a very insidious team, we will have to be concentrated for the whole match. In recent years the SuperLega has become increasingly balanced, each match is a story in itself and we must immediately put the victory against Padova behind us to focus on the next match. By winning you find security and trust, naturally you can’t win every match, but even when you lose you have to leave the pitch knowing you have given your best.”
