In the 12th round, the fourth midweek game, Taranto plays host to Macerata, one of the strongest teams of this league. This is the first of two consecutive home games (Loreto on Sunday) and, after the good performances against top teams such as Treviso and Modena, Taranto wants to prove once again it can play at the highest level. And the Italian Cup is in mind.
“All tough games ahead, three against some of the top teams of the A1, while we’ll have to beat Loreto at all cost – said coach Montagnani – Let’s focus on Macerata first, though. They possess one of the best setter in the world and in attack they have great players such as Omrcen, Cisolla and Martino. In order to do well, we’ll need a great performance, a mix between the one done at home against Treviso and the one against Modena”.
