San Giustino working hard in practice

The last match played of his long and brilliant career was on 7 April in Palmi. Since then, Davide Marra (in the photo) has remained in the management of Volley Altotevere as third coach together with Marco Bartolini and Mirko Monaldi and as athletic trainer. The former libero and Biancazzurro captain was on the bench last Sunday in Cagliari, where ErmGroup lost 1-3 in the match against Cus, slipping to the penultimate place in the Serie A3 Credem Banca championship table, White group. An excellent response in the second set, then the team did not have the ability to emerge in the decisive moments of the third and fourth sets. “Certainly – says Marra – in some moments of the set we won we played good volleyball and there were many small mistakes which then, playing point to point, we were able to capitalize on. A good reaction at that moment, even if the championship is difficult and we have to work hard with our heads down, take care of our metafield and try to improve game after game.” Without looking at the ranking? “Even in previous years, until December, we didn’t look much at it, because we try to understand what direction the championship is taking, also given some surprise results that have taken place so far or other particular situations that have occurred. I repeat: let’s think about our midfield, which is the most important thing, and let’s make sure we add a brick to our performances every week.”
