The perfect script seems to have be written for a come back to victory for Castellana Grotte. Indeed, not only was it Lattari’s debut game on the bench but it was also live on TV. Still, the rain seemed intent on ruining the party as it poured down on the Pala167 gym and started dripping in the middle of the court. In the end, the game initially scheduled at 8.30, took place at 10 when the normal conditions were restored. In this particular situation, the guest had the better start, making less mistakes as outside hitter Di Manno led his team to a one set lead. That’s when Janis Peda decided to show the way. Di Manno was not as effective any more and the hosts took off and won the next three sets, sealing it just before midnight.
In his rainy debut, Lattari did not forget his assistant Franco Castiglia. It’s indeed him who carried out the training to prepare this game, handing the team to the new coach on Saturday morning. “All credit to Franco who prepared the team this week” said Lattari.
