Gabbiano Mantova arrives on Saturday, another newly promoted team, a creature of a historically volleyball friendly territory which has already experienced the glories of Serie A in the past. It brings to this championship a hard core of athletes with whom it came close to direct promotion in the last season, Yordanov above all, an important point of reference for the Lombard attack, rounding out the roster with young players with excellent prospects, first and foremost the young opposite midfielder Novello from Treviso, born in 2002.
After resting in the first round, Mantova won three round points in the last weekend against Savigliano, an expert and quality team, proving to be a compact group capable of making very few mistakes.
Coach Marco Franchi presents the second home match to us like this:
“We return to play at home against Mantova who come from a good victory, they have Yordanov and Novello as their main attackers. It’s a team that makes little mistakes in all fundamentals, especially in attack, so we must expect that they won’t give us anything and that we will have to sweat every point. They know how to manage the various moments of the match very well, it will be up to us to take to the pitch with the idea of being protagonists and the desire to show the good things we have already shown”
