A great performance is required to put an end to a series of three consecutive defeats. However, Sunday’s opponent, Crema, is certainly not one the easiest to manoeuvre. They currently have 15 points, of which 12 were obtained at home. Crema has had problems with its middleblockers this season: Patriarca only played the first two games, and Alletti will be out as well for the next two weeks. In its last victorious encounter against Gioia, coach Monti lined up a spiker, Corti, as middleblocker. However, the big threat will come from Roberto Cazzaniga.

“Crema does a very good job of remaining technically and tactically consistent during the whole game – said assistant coach Bartolini – The serve will be very important, ours and theirs. Then, they obviously have a great attack with Cazzaniga, Serafim and Rosso”.
