There are paths that you don’t forget. They are the ones traveled with the rhythm marked by adrenaline, with a heart full of emotions and tension in the veins. Those that, once taken, change you. And Belluno Volley, these paths, have known them well since last spring. Because they lead to the playoffs: a simple phase of the year under the net? No, a championship within the championship, in which every point weighs double and every mistake can cost triple.
INSIDE EVERY MATCH – Now the curtain rises again: the first act of this new race will take place on Sunday 16 March (6 pm), at the VHV Arena. And it will coincide with game 1 of the quarterfinals: on the other side of the net there will be Monge Gerbaudo Savigliano, faced no later than last Sunday, in Piedmont, in the match that closed the regular season. But in the playoffs, it is well known, you don’t just play against the opponent, but against the pressure, the past. And the desire to rewrite it. The series is the best of three games: consequently, two wins are worth the qualification. «Game 1 is fundamental for us – says the sports director, Alessandro Carniel – and we are confident of interpreting it at our best. We have to think game by game, without setting too many programs and much less calculations. It is necessary to be “inside” every single challenge». Last Tuesday, the Austrian spiker, Alexander Berger, began training: «I hope that the group will benefit from Alex’s arrival. And receive the tranquility and experience that an athlete of his caliber can guarantee».
