With double training, weights and technique in the morning and new work on the PalabancaSport taraflex in the afternoon, the second week of preparation for Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza in view of the 2024-2025 season ends today.
The six players (Robertlandy Simon, Robbert Andringa, Leonardo Scanferla, Fabio Ricci, Nicola Salsi and Moussé Gueye) who were joined for a few days by Kainoa Wade and Kearney Finn, two American players from this year at the University of Hawaii and the young Italian-Bulgarian talent Hristo Hristo as well as three boys from the youth sector (Daniel Imokhai, Marco Zanellotti, Lorenzo Zanellotti), with a double work session thus completing the program drawn up by coach Andrea Anastasi and his staff for the inaugural period of the activity.
A second week of preparation in which the workload was gradually increased, alternating daily exercises with the ball with those dedicated to athletic training and sessions in the weight room. And a day dedicated to the pool and working on the sand with beach volleyball.
Fabio Ricci: “We are working hard and I would say very well. I’m happy to have stayed in Piacenza, it was a tough two weeks also because there are only a few of us but we know well that all this will be very useful to us in some time. For another week we will work with reduced ranks, then the national team will join the group and the workload will increase further. We work a lot and hard but we also have fun, we certainly don’t miss a smile.”
The group already at Anastasi’s disposal will now enjoy a day and a half of rest before returning to the gym on Monday afternoon and inaugurating the third week of preparation. Uros Kovacevic and Alessandro Bovolenta will also join the group on Thursday 22 August.
