Definitely returning with a bang for Gabbiano Farmamed Mantova, who in the first championship match of 2025 fought for two hours and 20′, and for five sets, to break the resistance of Monge Gerbaudo Savigliano.
Two literally golden points for Gola and his teammates, useful for maintaining second place in the standings behind the leaders Personal Time San Donà, still three points away. A breathtaking tie-break, with the final show by Baldazzi, gave success to Gabbiano on the third match point at 17-15.
«The victory came at the right time and in the right way – explains Cristian Lorenzi, second Biancazzurri coach – in the sense that, when we found ourselves down, it created an appetite for us, and the reaction we had was the greatest victory, because it allowed us to get back up from a negative moment. It wasn’t easy at all. In the end, two very important points arrived.”
Lorenzi then broadens his gaze on the championship: «I believe that entering the top four in the group at the end of the regular season is a great objective of the staff and the team. We are trying hard, even if we still have to work on many aspects, but we have the right weapons. I like the attitude that the team puts on the pitch, as done with Savigliano. We had the hunger necessary to raise our heads in times of difficulty, a positive aspect that must always be there. Getting into the top four would be a help in the playoffs, but for now it’s better to think one match at a time and make the most of them.”
