Eight points in the last three matches: thus Smartsystem Essence Hotels has practically earned its place in Serie A2.

After the month of January characterized by four consecutive defeats, Mastrangelo’s group regrouped and won all the direct matches: “I’m happy – says coach Mastrangelo – for everyone, that is, the club, the fans and the team group. We must continue with the project now and next year set up a team that can aspire to something more than salvation. The foundations have been laid, now we need to provide continuity.”

Palmi’s clear statement showed off a group that still has energy and the desire to do well. Furthermore, winning helps to win and in the last four days anything can happen: Aversa, Catania, Siena and Prata are warned.

Federico Roberti, author of the decisive attacks in the third set when Palmi had tried to react, highlights how the match on Calabrian soil was prepared very well: “In the locker room we told ourselves to reduce errors – states the class of 2004 – and so we did. They were at the last resort and found themselves faced with a Fano who conceded little. It’s clear that now we will face Aversa with a different spirit and we will look at the table upwards, ready to play a good end to the season.”
