The Sunday to forget at the Allianz Cloud in Milan left a legacy to the Cucine Lube Civitanova with important indications on the situations to be corrected, but also two positive notes: the certainty that the red and white collective already has a soul, with the ability to fight until end, as was clearly seen in the reaction during the third set, and the return to the pitch of Bulgarian spiker Alex Nikolov. An event that went unnoticed due to the result and because the athlete remained on the pitch for the blink of an eye. The Balkan giant will increase his playing time with the utmost caution to avoid relapses and missteps after the important recovery program following the back surgery carried out over the summer. The athlete is aware of this and responds to the question by commenting on a famous proverb as a good Italian by adoption.
Alex Nikolov: “The result of the Milan trip aside, from a personal point of view I am very happy because after months without official matches I broke the abstinence and stepped on the taraflex finally taking part in my first action of the new year in the Lube jersey. Having said that, we didn’t like the way we played on Sunday at all. At home against Monza we will have to be much more aggressive, also because Mint Vero Volley is a rival that has often put us in serious difficulty and we will need much more determination on our part to try to win. We will have to concede little and prevent the game from getting longer. When will my playing time increase? The plan is to think step by step! Everything will return to normal, those who go slowly go healthy and go far!”.
