Cucine Lube Civitanova is working head-on to be ready for the face-to-face meeting with WithU Verona on Saturday 8 April (6.00 pm) at the Eurosuole Forum. Race 5 will give away the pass for the Semifinals. Spiker Mattia Bottolo and his teammates don’t want to leave anything to chance. After impacting the series by winning the last two games, the Italian champions want to arrive prepared for the showdown.
Mattia Bottolo: “Saturday starts again from a draw – he recalls -, we absolutely must not make the mistake of feeling ahead just because we won the last two matches against Verona. Compliments should be set aside as our coach reminds us, while we have to go on our way and face this decisive match without distractions. It was not easy to come back from opponents who had not lost in 9 matches and had beaten us in the first two meetings of the series, but we were cornered and we managed to get back up. Saturday the attitude it will have to be the same. Balaso I don’t know, but from the Venetian colony Gottardo and I feel a lot about the derby with the Scala family because until last year the matches between Padua and Verona were highly anticipated. Now that I’m at Lube I continue to feel this rivalry “The audience at the Eurosuole Forum will count for a lot because WithU was able to count on a great supporter at home. Now we are the ones who want the extra man and I am convinced that the supporters will give us an incredible help”.
