He himself was the first to reiterate, not long ago, that he is a coach who is not inclined to make changes, but in these first four matches of the Serie A3 championship Credem Banca has gone against the trend. The substitutions made last Sunday in San Giustino (Battaglia for Marzolla in place 2, Carpita for Cappelletti at the back and then Stoppelli for Galiano in the centre) against a Gabbiano FarmMed Mantova team that had reached 2-0 – and which had got its hands on the match – they agreed with Marco Bartolini (in the photo), coach of ErmGroup Altotevere, who took the score to 2-2 and played until the end even the tie-break, losing 12-15. However, a point was added to the White group standings and, in light of the direction the match took, it was hailed as a semi-success. “It’s not an easy moment for some of the cornerstones of the team, who aren’t performing as per their usual standard – said Bartolini – so I decided to include whoever has remained on the bench the longest so far to try to give a minimum of shock. In fact, there was a turning point. We know well the undoubted potential of Cappelletti, who has yet to return to last year’s match, while Marzolla has been competing in official matches for just twenty days, in the aftermath of a long injury. The reserves responded in the best way, allowing us to get back into the match, but it is clear that this week we will have to further raise the level of training and insist more: I am sure we will solve the problems.
