The eleventh first leg leads straight to the halfway point of the SuperLega championship Credem Banca e Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza closes the first part of the Regular Season tomorrow, Sunday 8 December (3.30pm live on Rai Due, Volleyballworld.tv and Sportpiacenza.it) , in Perugia, on the pitch of the Italian Champions Sir Susa Vim Perugia.
After returning to victory in the last round of the championship with Grottazzolina, Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza has its sights set on the best position on the Italian Cup grid, a three-point victory would mean third place in the standings, a tie-break win would mean fourth place and in both cases the possibility of playing the quarter-finals at PalabancaSport. In the event of a defeat, the red and whites would finish the first round in fifth place in the standings.
Yuri Romanò: (opposite Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza): “With Perugia it will obviously be important to play well, in this championship we have shown that we know how to do it and when we do it we are annoying for anyone. For this reason we will have to think above all about what is happening in our field, we are facing a team that has proven in recent seasons to be the strongest and also this season is the favorite not only for the scudetto. A tough match awaits us but also a very nice one to play. It’s difficult to find weak points in our next opponents, perhaps so far a little less continuity than usual given that they lose some sets, we will have to be good at taking advantage of these possible moments. Perugia is a very physical team, they are very annoying when serving and blocking.”
