There is Stadium Mirandola on the path of the rhinos: on Sunday 29th (6pm), at the Spes Arena, Belluno Volley will face a team that, last year, took away 4 of the 6 points available, in the double comparison . But, compared to the last championship, the Emilians have changed their face. As the technical assistant from Belluno, Roberto Malaguti, testifies: «Yes, Mirandola is a revolutionized team. In the basic sextet, plus the libero, there are two confirmed athletes and five new ones. All of them of great importance for this category.”
We start with the director, Davide Quartarone: «After an excellent run in Serie B with Gabbiano Mantova, he is a very expert setter. So much so that he boasts 200 appearances in Serie A in 7 seasons (three in A1 and four in A2).” The opposite, however, is the Bergamo native of the Trento school, Daniele Albergati: «In his sixth year in Serie A, he collected 30 tokens in the Super League with Trentino Volley and in the last championship, with Shedirpharma Sorrento, he scored 526 points , making it the fourth most prolific element of the entire A3. And the second in terms of winning attacks.” From Savigliano, however, spiker Alberto Nasari arrived («complete player, as well as a very good receiver) and Federico Rossati also plays in the squad («204 centimetres, a factor in attack»). In the centre, pay attention to Riccardo Rustichelli and Federico Bombardi, while the libero is Matteo Rustichelli, born and raised with Stadium.
«For sure – concludes Malaguti – we will meet an expert team, skilled in various fundamentals, with a great desire to make us forget last year’s relegation and to demonstrate what its current value is». In the standings, after two days, Stadium has the same points as Belluno Volley. And, like the Colussi boys, they won at home (four days ago, against Gamma Chimica Brugherio) and lost away: in Savigliano, in their debut match.
