Day of rest for Sir Susa Vim Perugia.
After last night’s defeat in Piacenza, it is a Monday of recovery for the Block Devils who will return to work tomorrow morning at PalaBarton to begin preparation for the next official match, the match on Sunday 11 February in Pian di Massiano against Rana Verona valid for the seventh return leg of the Superlega (start of the match at 4.00 pm, presale active from this morning with the possibility of online purchase directly from the website www.vivaticket.it and at all vivaticket sales points). Very important match for Perugia to get back on track after yesterday’s setback and to find good points to maintain second place in the standings.
Juventus coach Angelo Lorenzetti returns to yesterday’s match in Piacenza:
“After the first set there was only one team on the court. We didn’t make the most of yesterday’s match as an opportunity, but it must be an opportunity from now on because yesterday we met the real Piacenza who have only been seen a few times due to various injuries and with them it’s very complicated when they play like this. We have the weapons, we have to use them better, refine them, work hard in the gym and work to the limit, because when they play at this level they put you to the limit. The pressure from nine meters? I repeat, this is Piacenza. There were matches where they had to endure, in addition to injuries, several close matches and away games and had raised the level of errors a little. But it was enough to be able to work calmly for a short time and they returned to being the team we know. We want to stay at this level and to stay there we have to improve.”
The Block Devils coach knows that there is always only one path, that of work.
“We’re not talking about attitude, because in any case the boys were always there yesterday even when we were behind, nor about commitment which is maximum. Instead, we need to open a dialogue that concerns the awareness that we must push some things to the limit. This is a leap in quality for strong teams and good players, we have them and good players must constantly work to the limit. We did it for a certain period, then we slowed down, now we have to get our heads back there. The concept is to use each ball to the best of your ability. Not having the Champions League, we have to test ourselves more in training. We want and must do it.”
