Even though there still a bit of uncertainty regarding the date at which the league will start because of the Pineto case, Roma volley prepares itself normally for next Sunday, when it is meant to face Mantova in its opening encounter of the A2 season. Coach Giani welcomed the latest arrival in Viktor Yosifov, who had to come to strengthen the squad following Subiela’s injury.
“To tell the truth Yosifov is ready – said Giani in spite of the fact that the player did not take part in the pre-season training – The Bulgarian, who was considered one of the best middleblocker of the European Championships this summer, will be a starter against Mantova as he will have more ready legs having played official games”.
