The last official match of the preseason for Cucine Lube Civitanova is upon us. Tomorrow, Saturday 21 September (5.30 pm), exactly one week after their Regular Season debut, Giampaolo Medei’s men will test their gears in a friendly match against Valsa Group Modena at the PalaCiarapica in San Severino Marche. While waiting to break into the 2024/25 SuperLega at the Eurosuole Forum against Sonepar Padova, a match scheduled for 8.30pm on Saturday 28 September (pre-sale already open), Captain Balaso and his teammates will do the technical championship tests in the “classic” against the yellows . This will be a meeting organized in memory of the entrepreneur and former city councilor Roberto Soverchia.
A comparison between two well-matched teams of rivals, friends and former teammates in a crackling arena thanks to the sold out announced by the San Severino Volley Club, which organizes with the patronage of the municipal administration. The coach Giampaolo Medei and the opposite player Adis Lagumdzija, as well as the setters Mattia Boninfante and Santi Orduna, will challenge their past. Former players still fresh from sporting battles and successes in the red and white jersey are expected in the Marche region, such as the director Luciano De Cecco and the central player Simone Anzani, but also the coach Alberto Giuliani, who led the Cucineri to win important titles, and other former great depth like the central defender Dragan Stankovic and the spiker Jacopo Massari.
Santiago Orduna: “This year Lube will face various teams in which I played, often I will be an ex. This will also happen in a few hours in a friendly against Modena.
