Last interregional transfer of the regular season for the Yuasa Battery, taking place on Saturday 15 February at 8.30 pm in Cisterna di Latina. Piacenza within friendly walls and the derby in Civitanova are the last two further steps that will write the fate of the team coached by coach Ortenzi. There are several opponents and press outlets who consider Yuasa to be out of the fight for salvation, but in the area of Grottazzolina no one has the intention of falling into the trap of feeling safe, even more so when mathematics itself disavows such a thought. Of course, if on the eve of the 2024-25 Superlega Credem Banca season someone had declared that perhaps 17 points would not have been enough to save themselves, they would probably have taken him for crazy. Even more so, looking at the last few seasons: in 2023-24 Catania stopped at 9; the year before, the most similar to the current one, it was Siena that left the category with 15 points, just one more than Taranto and Padua. Excluding the 2021-22 year, with thirteen teams, the last recent season with twelve challengers at the start was 2020-21, in which Cisterna finished with only 7 points in a tournament, however, without relegations, as it was the post-Covid season. With nine points still up for grabs (Cisterna and Padova also have to recover a further match, however complex), everything is still to be written in this beautiful yet crazy season.
The opponent of the moment
Cisterna Volley is one of the clubs that has given greater continuity to the staff compared to the previous season, confirming the vast majority of the main players, starting with the coach, the Spanish Guillermo Falasca.
